Connection Procedure
• Cable
Use the cable that meets the conditions below.
Item Conditions
Cable Shielded twisted pair cable
3 pairs AWG24-14 (Four-wire system),
2 pairs 24 AWG or more (Two-wire system)
Characteristic impedance 100 Ω
Capacitance 50 pF/m
Cable length Up to 1.2 km*
* The transmission distance of the RS-422A/485 interface is not the straight-line distance, but
rather the total length of the (shielded twisted-pair) cable.
• Connecting the Cable
As shown in the following figure, attach a crimp-on lug with isolation sleeves for 4 mm
screws to the end of the cable. Keep the exposed section from the end of the shield
within 5 cm.
