·
Each Bus Probe has a detachable terminal block with four terminals: ground (GND),
power (+V), as well as RS485+ and RS485- lines of the RS485 signal pair.
·
Communications parameters of the RS485 port are 38400-8-N-1.
·
When using an RS485 bus of substantial length,
do not forget to add 120 Ohm
termination resistors
on both ends of the bus.
·
The MD button* has two uses:
o
For enabling writes into
o
For entering the
of the Monitor/Loader.
·
display a number of device states and errors.
·
Mounting holes can be used to attach Probes to flat surfaces.
* Each Bus Probe comes with a metal pin that makes pushing and holding down the
MD button easier.

Device ID (Modbus address). This ID must be
between 1 to 247. Attempts to set an ID outside
of this range will be ignored.
Default ID of a Probe depends on the Probe's
type:
0x40 for BP#01 (ambient temperature sensor);
0x41 for BP#02 (relative humidity and
temperature sensor);
0x42 for BP#03 (ambient light sensor);
0x43 for BP#04 (3-axis accelerometer).
