Method B - via RS-485 (RM Bus Connector)
C12 VDC to Pin 1 of the RS-485 connector on the bottom
right side.
Connect Ground (Gnd) to Pin 4 of the RS-485 connector.
NOTE
The +12 VDC input on Pin 1 has a protection diode that prevents you
from using the RS-485 connector as a source of +12 VDC if you power
through the Power IN connector.
Battery
Connect the plus and minus sides of the 12 VDC battery to the Battery
connector. The battery provides power for memory retention in the event
of a power failure. When power is restored, the battery is charged by the
power supplied through the
Power In
connector.
LED Connector
Table 2 lists LED Connector Signals and Functions on the RM-4E board.
NOTE
UL has not evaluated using Pin 5 to drive an external beeper.
