2.7 RS485 Communications Link
The panel is capable of communicating with a maximum
of sixteen (16) repeaters (active IDR-2A or passive
IDR-2P) or mimic panels (IDR-M) (for further details
concerning the repeaters refer to 997-411, IDR-2A, -2P
& -6A Repeaters User Manual or 997-412, IDR Mimic
Installation and Commissioning Manual). The panel
is connected to the repeaters in a daisy-chain
arrangement via the RS485 Communications terminal
block, TB6, on the PCB assembly. The panel must be
fitted with the RS485 Interface Module PCB at connector
PL3 on the PCB assembly (see Section2.7.1, Fitting
the RS485 Interface Module PCB).
The two end stations require a termination resistor to be
fitted as illustrated below.
To connect a panel to an RS485 communications link:
1 Ensure the following:
i All power to the panel is isolated.
ii Access to the panel electronics is possible.
ii The interlink wire is disconnected at the batteries.
2 Fit the RS485 Interface Module PCB as described in
the instructions in Section2.7.1, Fitting the RS485
Interface Module PCB).
3 Connect the RS485 communications cable to the
RS485 Communications terminal block, TB6, refer to
Section4.4.2, RS485 Communications Link.
Note: If connecting the panel at either end of the RS485
communications link, connect a 150R termination
resistor (supplied separately) as shown below.
4 Using the configuration procedure - refer to
Section5.5.15, Number of Repeaters, configure the
panel and RS485 communications link.
