Caution:"You must complete the internal configuration of the BM85 before making the unit active in your application both on the Modbus Plus network and at its serial ports
If you are installing a BM85 that was previously configured for another application another network or a different node the unit will still be retaining its previous configuration setup You must not connect the unit into the current application and apply operating power to the unit until you have reconfigured it for the current application

Before you set the unit to RUN mode verify that you have setup its Modbus port parameters and Modbus Plus node address as described in this chapter.
Turn off power to the Bridge Multiplexer and set its configuration switch to the RUN position. Refer to Figure 0 for the configuration switch location and setting.
If you have set the BM85 configuration correctly for a specific installation site you can transport the unit to the site and install it.
The RUN mode will be set when power is reapplied to the BM85.
