Read the Cautions below before connecting any cable to the BM85.

After connecting each cable, secure the connection by tightening its two

screws.

Caution:ąIf you are connecting the unit to the network for the

purpose of communicating in your application, you must first

ensure that you have set the unit's internal configuration for

the specific site at which you are installing the unit. If you

have not done this, you must first configure the unit as

described in this guidebook.

If you are connecting the unit to the network for the purpose

of downloading its configuration from your host computer, you

must set the unit's rear panel switches for downloading . You

must do this before connecting the network cables, and before

applying operating power to the unit.

Caution:ąIf the network is active, communication between the

devices on the network will be affected as you connect the

BM85 to the network. Before connecting any device on an

active network, you should know the affect of connecting that

device.

Caution:ąIf the cables at the installation site are not labeled,

or if you do not have a layout diagram showing how to connect

the cables, obtain that information before proceeding.
