Setting Up the DH-485 Network 199
Installing and Attaching the Link Couplers
• When installing the link coupler in an enclosure, use care so that
the cable connecting the SLC 500 controller to the link coupler
does not hit the enclosure door.
• Carefully plug the terminal block into the DH-485 port on the
link coupler you are putting on the network. Allow enough
cable slack to prevent stress on the plug.
• Provide strain relief for the cable after it is wired to the terminal
block. This guards against breakage of the Belden cable wires.
