Operating RS-485 Module
RS-485 interface enables communication between RS-485 network
and the barometer. The RS-485 interface is isolated and offers a
maximum communications rate of 115 200 bits/s. (For maximum bus
length of 1 km, use bit rate 19200 b/s or less.)
When selecting an RS-232-RS-485 converters for the network, avoid
self-powered converters as they don't necessarily support the needed
power consumption.
NOTE
User port on the barometer main board cannot be used and connected
when RS-485 module is connected. Service port is operating
normally.
