Application Drawings
The following diagram illustrates Style 7 (Class A) RS-485 network
signal (data) line wiring between a CM1(N) and CM2(N) control
modules. Both the CM1(N) and the CM2(N) must be equipped with a
COMM-3 communications card in connector P3.
Route data 1 and data 2 cables separately such that a single incident
e.g. fire or accidental cutting will not damage (shorted or open
conductors) both cables. Riser cables should be separated by 2 hour
rated fire resistive construction or a minimum of 20’.
