The DHC-96 devices have one RS-485 communications port,with communications protocols:
MODBUS RTU ® .
6.1.- CONNECTIONS
The RS-485 cable must be wired with twisted pair cable with mesh shield, with a maximum
distance between the DHC-96 and the master device of 1200 metres.
A maximum of 32 DHC-96 devices can be connected to this bus.
