with a impedance of 120 . AWG 24 should be the minimum
wire gauge used.
Choose one twisted pair of conductors to use for RS485_TX_Y (TX+, Green / Black wire - 10) and RS485_TX_Z (TX-, Green
/ White wire - 8).
Choose one twisted pair of conductors to use for RS485_RX_A (RX+, Blue / Black wire - 7) and RS485_RX_B (RX-, Blue /
White wire - 9).
