General
Remember the following when installing the ImproX DBv:
Communications Distance
The RS485 communications distance between the ImproX Controller and the LAST
ImproX unit in a cable run, MUST NOT exceed 1 km (1 090 yd). Achieve this by using
good quality screened, twisted 2-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 [TR1] in the LAST UNIT AT THE
END OF THE CABLE RUN should solve the problem.
EARTH Connection
Connect the Drop Box to a good EARTH point. Using the RS485 Port, connect the
EARTH Lead to the „
‟ Terminal. Mains EARTH can be used, but electrical noise
may exist.
