The RS-485 TERM DIP-switch is used only when the RS-485 port is connected
(see
Section
5.3
). The first and last units on the RS-485 line (for example, the
controller and the last
VS-44FO
) must be terminated. The units in between must
not be terminated.
Set the PROG DIP-switch ON only while updating the unit firmware, otherwise the
switch must be OFF.
