DATA CONFIGURATION 

This link accommodates transmission of: 

1) 1 bi-directional RS485 (2 wire or 4 wire) data channel, or   
2) 1 bi-directional RS422 data channel, or 
3) 1 bi-directional RS232 data channel, or 
4) 1 bi-directional RS232 data channel and 1 bi-directional RS422 data channel. 
 

 
These units are factory shipped configured for RS485 (4 wire) configuration.  
  
    

 
There is a rear panel data configuration switch bank which is available to select: 
  

1)  RS485 or RS422/RS232 data modes  
2)  RS485 (2 or 4 wire) format 
3)  Internal data input/output terminations 
4)  RS485 Offset Bias Option
