6.5 The Optional RS485 Serial Interface
Although the standard RS232 serial interface included with the Model DF868 is adequate for most applications,
Panametrics offers an optional RS485 serial interface upgrade for special situations. The Model DF868 is easily
modified to provide RS485 communications, and this section describes the wiring and use of the special RS232 to
RS485 converter.
Note:
For compliance with the European Union’s Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC), this unit requires an external
power disconnect device such as a switch or circuit breaker. The disconnect device must be marked as
such, clearly visible, directly accessible, and located within 1.8 m (6 ft) of the electronics console.
6.5.1 Interface Converter Mounting
A special bracket containing the serial interface converter and a three-terminal barrier strip is mounted inside the
Model DF868, just below the
RS232
terminal block (see Figure 8). The standard
RS232
terminal block is wired to the
input of the serial interface converter, and the RS-485 output of the serial interface converter is wired to the barrier
strip.
