NOTE:
When using RS-232, there is no restriction on the distance between the T-Junction and the
controller.

ERMINATION
Termination, installing 120 ohm termination resistors at the beginning and end units of each chain of
Communicator 2.0 and controllers, ensures reliable communication in RS-485 infrastructures. The
following illustrations show where to install the resistors. Depending on the topology, install the resistors in
the T-box, the terminal controller, or the Munters Repeater.

Figure 12: Topology 2: House Termination
The following two topologies require Munters RS-485 Repeaters.
CAUTION
Install the repeater within one meter of the Communicator 2.0 T-Box
