Debug Mode Configuration Mode Note: ①After re-configuring the switch, you have to restart the GT200-HT-RS to make the settings take effect! (Power off then Power On) ②Set to the debug mode, it will be compulsory to appoint RS-485 interface as communication interface, RS-232/USB interface as debugging interface.
Modbus address. At last, long-press the button again for 3 seconds, the address flashing three times shows that the address is set successfully. If no button action within ten seconds, GT200-HT-RS exits the status of setting address and continue to display the original address. The configurable range of Modbus address is 0 to 99 (Decimal).
NC(Not Connected) 24V+, DC Positive 24V 3.4.2 RS-485/RS-422 Interface The RS-485 interface of GT200-HT-RS is a standard one, and the RS-485 characteristics of the product are shown as follows: 1. The basic characteristics of RS-485 transmission technology ① Network topology: Linear bus, there are active bus terminal resistors at both sides.
②Each subsection can be connected up to 32 sites; ③The farthest two end of the bus has a terminal resistor—120Ω 1/2W to ensure reliable operation of the network. Serial interface uses 5-pin pluggable open terminal and user can wire it according to the wiring instructions on the panel.

Note: 1. Some HART slave instrument need to perform self-test and other internal work when power is on, they may not start HART communication, then gateway cannot receive the response data of the instrument right now. It is recommended the HART slave instrument and gateway uses separate power supply so that the gateway can immediately establish communication with instrument.
