RS485 Networking
The unit can be configured to operate in a Multi-Drop RS485 network using the Serial
Out setting on the Settings Screen. The unit will also automatically be set to network
mode if it detects network commands being sent to any device in the network.
When the unit is in network mode, it will not echo any characters or respond to any
commands unless specifically addressed. The network address is the same as the
Location ID set in the Sample Setup screen. It is important that no two units have the
same Location ID set in the same network.
When in network mode, the unit is considered to be under Remote Control and key
operating parameters cannot be changed by a local operator. These settings are:
Sample Mode, Sample Time, Hold Time, Count Units and Temperature Units. The
operator can still set the Serial Out to return the unit to Local Control. The Location can
also be set to change the network address if necessary.
For additional information on networking commands and addressing refer to the BT-
610-9801 Networking Supplement.
Figure 32 shows the RS485 connector location and pin assignments. Figure 33 shows
a RS-485 network wiring diagram.
