Adjustable Pull High/low Resistors for the RS-485 Port 
In some critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of 
serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors 
correctly so that the electrical signal is not corrupted. Since there is no resistor value that works for 
every environment, DIP switches are used to set the pull high/low resistor values for each RS-485 
port.  
To set the pull high/low resistors to 150 KΩ, make sure both of the assigned DIP switches are in 
the OFF position. This is the default setting. 
To set the pull high/low resistors to 1 KΩ, make sure both of the assigned DIP switches are in the 
ON position.

ATTENTION 
Do not set the resistors to 1 KΩ when using RS-232. Doing so will degrade the RS-232 signals 
and reduce the effective communication distance.
