General
Remember the following when installing the Terminal:
Communications Distance
The RS485 communications distance between the first ImproX Controller and the LAST
ImproX unit in a cable run, MUST NOT exceed 1 km (1 094 yd). Achieve this by using
good quality screened twisted pair cable, with the screen EARTHED at one end.
Jumper Links
Long transmission lines
or multiple “star” connections, may cause communication
problems. Placing a Jumper Link across the jumper [LNK1] in the LAST UNIT AT THE
END OF THE CABLE RUN should solve the problem.
EARTH Connection
Connect the Terminal to a good EARTH point. Using the RS485 Port, connect the
EARTH Lead to the
„ETH‟ Terminal. Mains EARTH can be used, but electrical noise
may exist.
Blank Space
