RS-485 Wiring
All modules connected to a single CK721-A communicate through an RS-485
interface as implemented by Cardkey. Each module contains two RS-485
connectors.
IMPORTANT
Observe the following precautions:
 Ensure that the notch on the RS-485 cable faces the lip on the module’s
connector. Plugging the cable in backwards may damage the module.
 Do not remove or connect the RS-485 connectors before powering down the
S300 expansion enclosure.
