ON Manual background

The MintDrive at the furthest end of the network from the transmitter should have its RS485 DIP switch (located on the front panel of the MintDrive) set to the ’On’ position. This will connect a termination resistor, used to match the impedance of the load to the impedance of the transmission line (cable).

Each TX/RX network requires a termination resistor at the final RX connnection, but intermediate devices must not be fitted with termination resistors. (An exception to this rule is where repeaters are being used which may correctly contain termination resistors).

Unmatched impedance causes the transmitted signal to not be fully absorbed by the load. This causes a portion of the signal to be reflected back into the transmission line (noise). If the Source impedance, Transmission Line impedance, and Load impedance are all equal, these reflections (noise) are eliminated. Termination does increase load current and sometimes changes the bias requirements and increases the complexity of the system.
