If the cable is locally procured, make sure it is data
grade cable suitable for RS-485 communication. A 2-
wire twisted pair shielded cable, BELDEN 9406 or
equivalent should be used. Pin assignments and data

Termination for RS-485 chain
Termination is important for stable communications in the
RS-485 chain. It must be located at only one point at the
end positions in the chain.
• If a System Controller is at the end of the chain, set the
5th bit of the DIP switch to ON. See the illustration
above.
• If a Video Multiplexer is at the end of the chain, plug the
terminator (optional accessory) into one end of the
branch cable as shown below.
