Appendix 3 Using NS-AL002 Converters
 
● Preparing the Shield of RS-422A/485 Connectors 
Always prepare RS-422A/485 cable shields properly. Otherwise, communications errors 
may occur with the host. 
Ground only one end of the shield when connecting the ground terminal (GR) of the de-
vices to the functional ground (FG: ), and grounding each signal line at only one point 
and to 100 
Ω max, as shown in Figure (a).  
Ground both ends of the shield when not grounding the functional ground (FG:     ) of the 
PT, as shown in Figure (b). 
When using the CJ1W-CIF11 or when using the NT-AL001/NS-AL002 together with the 
CJ1W-CIF11, always performs connections, shield processing, and grounding as shown in 
Figure (b).
