Local Area Network: RS-485 Serial Port

The RS-485 serial port is located on the lower left corner of the terminal. It is a six position 6-pin female port with the outer 2 pins to Ground. It will accept a male RJ-11 modular connector.

The terminal can use RS-485 2-wire serial communication, allowing up to 32 terminals to be connected to one host port. An RS-232 port on the host is typically used in conjunction with an RS-232/RS-485 converter to complete the connection.

Through software, the host can communicate with individual terminals even though they are wired in parallel. RS-485 communication uses a differential bus, which provides good protection from interference over long runs of up to 4000 feet.

NOTE: When wiring a network, always follow the electric wiring codes in your area. Typically, a Teflon coated wire is required for wiring through the ceiling. The “Daisy Chain” cabling between junction boxes shown on the opposite page is a Teflon jacketed cable.
