• Bacnet @ 9600/19.2K --- .01 to .045vdc
Check RS485 bus for external voltage
before reconnecting to the bus.
• Bacnet @ 38.4K --- .06 to .09vdc
• Bacnet @ 76.8K --- .1vdc
• Modbus @ 9600 --- 76.8K --- .124vdc
• N2 @ 9600 --- .124vdc
Verify devices are daisy chained and repeaters and bias
terminators are correctly installed.
