    USB Type A plug. Note: No software functions have been defined for this port yet. This functionality will be available in a future firm- ware release. Contact Red Lion for expected availability. Serial RS485 Wiring RS485 connections are made to screw terminals on the top of the RTU. These terminals provide a RS485 (2-wire, half duplex only) connection to a network of RS485 devices connected in a bus topology, or a one-one-one con- nection to another RS485 device.
  • Page 33 Revised 2016-02-12 Hardware Installation Serial RS485 Wiring Bias Resistors: On a RS485 2-wire network, a pair of bias resistors (1K ohm typically) acting upon the transmit/ receive wires may be required. If bias resistors are not present, the receive inputs on some RS485 devices may react to noise on the floating wires.

  • Page 42: Cleaning

    Hardware Installation Revised 2016-02-12 Cleaning • Minimize the rate or frequency of your wireless communications. Simply polling or reporting too frequently can cause the temperature of the unit to increase significantly. Note: Some models allow you to monitor the internal temperature of the cellular modem inside. For best performance, this internal temperature should be kept below 85°C.
