Suitable 2 pair twisted pair cable (e.g. Belden 9842) for connecting RS485 communications and 24 VDC
power must be used. More information may be found in Section D.4. Ensure that the electrical characteristics
of the cable connected are appropriate for the distance between the detector and display module.
When using the cable, use one pair for RS485 communications, the other pair for 24 VDC supply, and ensure
that matching signals are connected at each end.
