Installation
Three-Wire Network Wiring
Follow this wiring diagram for all three-wire systems
(this is common).
NOTES:
In the middle of the network, all network wiring shields should be twisted together and taped off to prevent acci
-
dental grounding. More than one ground on the network wiring can result in communication failure.
A maximum of two terminating resistors can be used.

NOTES:
1. If using more than 64 controllers,
use the second RS-485 port or
additional QD1010 adapters.
2. Each controller must use the
same baud rate and be assigned
a unique address.
