Wiring the System 
(cont.)

Note:

The XMT+ terminal on the barrier strip is the screw opposite 
the red wire connection and the XMT– terminal on the barrier 
strip is the screw opposite the green wire connection.

3. Reinstall the clear plastic shroud (for units so equipped), close the 

cover to the electronics console and reconnect the main power.

The RS485 serial interface is now ready for multi-point operation.
