Communicating with an SLC on a DH-485 Network
Publication 2755-6.8
Connecting Readers to SLC 5/03 Controller
You must use a link coupler if the distance between the reader and
the SLC is greater than 15.2 meters (50 feet). The reader can
connect directly to another RS-485/RS-422 device. Point-to-point
and network connections are the same.
The end devices on the DH-485 network must be terminated. The
wiring base of the AdaptaScan Reader provides a termination switch.
