1.5 RS485 BIASING AND TERMINATION
1.5.1 Biasing and Termination
The ONICON D-100-N2 does not provide biasing voltage or termination to the RS485
network. A 120W termination resistor should be used when the meter is installed at the
end of the line.
1.6 NETWORK ADDRESSING
Before the D-100 can communicate on the N2 network, the appropriate device address must
be programmed into the display. The N2 network address for ONICON D-100 displays may be
set to any address from 001 to 255. This address is set at the display. Section 1.6.1 details the
procedure for changing this address.
1.6.1 Changing the Device Address
Every ONICON D-100 is individually programmed at the factory with application specific
data provided by the customer during the ordering process, and this may include
network addressing information. If the device address information was provided, the
display will be programmed with that number. If no address is provided, ONICON
displays are programmed with a default address of 017. The address may be changed at
the D-100 using the procedure outlined in the table below.
