RS485 multi-drop communication
Multi-drop communication requires an addressable communication protocol, such as OSDP.
Termination resistors (120 Ω) are recommended to prevent unwanted signal reflections on long RS485 communication
lines. The resistors should be installed at both ends of the communication line. See Figure 4 below.

Notes
• Use shielded twisted pair cable when extending the RS485 wiring beyond the standard 5 meter cable.
• Maximum RS485 cable length 1200 meters (
6000 feet).
• The RS485 interface is disabled while the USB interface is in use.
