Notes

• The terminal’s voltage and current ratings are compliant with the requirements of the EIA RS-485 communications

standard.

• The RS-485 transceivers are ¼ unit load or less.

• RS-485+ has a 47 kΩ pull up to +5V, and RS-485- has a 47 kΩ pull down to Shield (RS-485 signal ground).

• Wire the RS-485 bus as a daisy chain from device to device, without any stubs. Use 120 Ω termination resistors at each

end of the bus (not included).

• Shield is not internally connected to Earth Ground.

• Connect Shield to Earth Ground somewhere on the RS-485 bus.

For all terminals:

• When tightening terminals, apply the correct torque: 0.37 to 0.44

ft·lb (0.5-0.6 N·m).

• Use 14-24 gauge (2.1-0.2 mm

2

) wire.
