4.1.2 2-Wire Connection Using RJ-45

Most RS-485 devices employ a two-wire, half duplex configuration. When using this configuration, be sure to first set the Model 593/45 to half duplex mode by switching DIP switches and jumpers (refer to sec- tion 3.0 for this configuration)—then use only the transmit (XMT) pair as shown below

4.1.3 4-Wire Connection Using Terminal Blocks

If you purchased the Model 593/TB, you will need to open the case to access the terminal blocks. The following instructions will tell you how to open the case, connect the bare wires to the terminal blocks, and fasten the strain relief collar in place so that the wires won't pull loose.

1.If the case is not already open, open it now by twisting it open with a small plastic screwdriver.

2.Strip the outer insulation from the twisted pairs about one inch from the end.

3.Strip back the insulation on each of the 2 twisted pair wires about .25 inch.

4.Place the cable through the end plate, and make a small loop in the cable and feed the cable under the tie wrap which is cur- rently installed in the board. When you have completed this assembly it should resemble figure figure 5. Connect one pair of wires to XMT+ and XMT- (transmit positive and negative) on the terminal block, making careful note of which color is positive, and which color is negative.

5.If you are using 4-wire mode, connect the other pair of wires to RCV+ and RCV- (receive positive and negative) on both of the terminal blocks, again making careful note of which color is positive, and which is negative.

Ultimately, you will want to construct a four pair cross over cable that makes a connection with the RS-422/485 device, as shown below.
