Connecting PM PLUS™ to a PC Using B&B 485 to USB Converter
Do not leave a USB to EIA-485 converter connected to Standard Bus with-
out power (i.e., disconnecting the USB from the computer with the con-
verter connected on Standard Bus). 
If you connect a USB converter to your PC we recommend that you change 
the Latency Timer from the default 16 msec to 1 msec. Go to Device Man-
ager, double-click Port; right-click the USB serial port; select Properties; 
click the Port Settings tab; click the Advanced button, then change the  
Latency Timer to 1. 
Failure to make this change may cause communication loss between the PC 
running EZ-ZONE Configurator and the control.
