Communications Installation

Wiring Guidelines

the RJ-11 cable maximum length is 3 meters

RS-485 maximum length is 1,200 meters (4,000 feet)

use 24 AWG (minimum)

use good quality communication grade (shielded twisted pairs) cable that is recommended for RS-485 for port 2 (Belden 9842)

run the communication cable separately from power and control cables (do not tie wrap your RS-232 or RS-485 cable to the power cable or have them in the same conduit)

use shielded cable and connect to ground at one end only

follow proper grounding guidelines for all devices on the bus

Note: Improper wiring and incorrect choice of cables are two of the most common causes of communication problems.
