2.7 Technical Specifications Table 3 - Technical Specs 
The transceiver used in the NET485 is intended for balanced data transmission and complies with both EIA 
Standards RS-485 and RS-422. It contains a differential line driver and a differential line receiver, and is 
suitable for half-duplex transfer. The input impedance is 19KOhm allowing up to 50 transceivers to be 
connected on the bus.
