Terminate the RS-485 chain with a 120 Ω resistor. This is especially 
important with long cables. If the FS11 sensor is at the end of the RS-485 
chain, the 120 Ω resistor can be connected across the screw terminal 
pins. The 120 Ω resistor is available in a plastic bag attached to the 
power cable inside the interface unit's enclosure. 
Figure 28 below illustrates an RS-485 application using a half-duplex 
data transfer over a single twisted pair.
