Wiring the RS-485 (wiring to the N-410)

Processing the communication cable

1

Remove the sheath of the cable by 70 mm.

2

Cover the bare shield mesh wires and the sheath portion
with a contraction tube of about 40 mm.

3

Make stranded wires from the shield mesh wires and
prepare the required number of wires including the insulated
wires. (5 wires are required for the RS-422A and 3 wires are
required for the RS-485)

4

Remove the cover of each insulated wire by about 8 mm
from the tip.

5

Perform preliminary soldering on each wire by about 6 mm
from the tip.
The external diameter of the preliminarily soldered bare wire
must not exceed 2 mm.

Surrounding space

Install the N-R4 vertically.
When the installation direction changes, provide
adequate surrounding space so that heat does not
build up.

For ventilation, maintain a space of 50mm or more
from the top and bottom of the N-R4. As long as the
N-R4 is the only source of heat generation, the N-R4
can be installed without space on the right and left
sides.
Provide a space of 80 mm or more in front of the N-
R4 to connect the BL head.

50 mm or more on the top and bottom; no space is required on the

right and left sides

Installation precautions

When installing the N-R4, do not block the ventilation slots on the
top and bottom of the unit. Otherwise, heat builds up inside the
unit, causing product failure.

If the temperature of the N-R4 will foreseeable exceed the upper
limit of the operating temperature (50

°C), take the appropriate

measures such as performing forced air cooling or ensuring
proper ventilation so that the temperature does not exceed the
upper limit of the normal operating temperature (50

°C).

Note

The extended distance of the cable must not exceed

For the N-R4 at the end of the RS-485 trunk line, set

the terminating resistance to ON.

Note

Do not wire the RS-485 cable via the terminal block.
Do not install the RS-485 cable and the power line on

the same piping.

Do not branch the RS-485 line.
Use stranded copper wire having a gage of AWG12 to

30 and temperature rating of 60

°C or higher.

The tightening torque is 0.56 to 0.79 N·m (5 to 7 lbf·in).
