RS-485 2-Wire
1. Loosen the screws to open the Serial TB Lead Clamps for the G,
H, K, L, and M terminals.
2. Jumper terminal G to terminal K and connect to RS-485 Data A (-)
lead.
3. Jumper terminal H to terminal L and connect to RS-485 Data B (+)
lead.
4. Connect the signal ground lead to terminal M.
5. Tighten the screws to close the Serial TB Lead Clamps. Ensure
5. Tighten the screws to close the Serial TB Lead Clamps. Ensure
the clamps hold the leads securely. However, do not over tighten.
6. Position DIP Switch positions 1 through 5 for t he desired baud
rate.
7. Position DIP Switch positions 7 and 8 to ON for RS-485 2-Wire
mode.
Installation Notes:
Not all RS-485 devices are marked correctly for Data (+) and (-),
so if the slave devices don’t respond after going through the fiber
converter, try swapping the wire pairs polarity to each converter.
When there is no light received from the fiber in, the receive
indicator will be On. You can interconnect or loop back the
transmit fiber on one unit to the receive input on the same unit to
verity the receive light goes out. If the transmit light is lighted all
the time without data, the polarity of the RS-485 is reversed, or
there is not enough bias, or termination loads on the RS-485 bus.
Normal bias before termination is about 3.8 to 4.0 VDC, Data (+)
to (-).
