The Optional RS485
Serial Interface
Although the standard RS232 serial interface included with the
Model GF868 is adequate for most applications, Panametrics offers
an optional RS485 serial interface upgrade for special situations. The
Model GF868 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.
Interface Converter
Mounting
A special bracket containing the serial interface converter and a three-
terminal barrier strip is mounted inside the Model GF868, just below
the
RS232
terminal block (see Figure 6-1 below). 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.
