Installation

The diagram on the next page shows the recommended system hookup.
To avoid ground loops, it uses an optically isolated RS-232 to RS-485
converter at the host computer. The system is powered from the CLS's
power source or from a secure, isolated supply.

Wire equipment in a single “daisy chain” using twisted shielded pairs
for the RS-485 cables. Don't use “octopus connections” or “spurs”.
