In case of an RS485 twisted pair cable, the termination is typically 120 Ω. In the iSMA-B-MAC36NL version there is a built-in 3-position switch on the back side of the device (access after removing the back cover), which is dedicated to connecting termination resistor and/or biasing resistors. - Page 12 User Manual Figure 6. Switch for termination and biasing for the base (on left) and optional extension port (on right) Switch position Biasing Termination 120 Ω + Biasing NONE Table 3.

- Page 13 User Manual If the switch is in the END position, it connects the termination resistor 120 Ω and biasing resistors 680 Ω (pull-down to ground SG and pull-up to +5 V DC) to the RS485 bus. Instead of using additional resistors, the termination and biasing can easily be done by a simple switch activation.

Page 34: Data Recovery Service
This includes station data that is not committed to non-volatile flash memory yet. Note: A station running in the iSMA-B-MAC36NL has no seamless immunity to power surges. Although all station data, including components, histories, and alarms, are automatically restored to pre-event values, as part of a station start-up (following power restoration), the briefest power outage results in a controller reboot. - Page 35 Note: The iSMA-B-MAC36NL does not provide a similar saving opportunity after a power surge—it is already rebooting. Therefore, as a best practice, the iSMA-B-MAC36NLs system users are advised to often save their files manually if editing items like Px graphics or Nav files.
- Page 36 User Manual Figure 33. Data Recovery Service Editor in PlatformServices of MAC36NL The figure above shows the default view for the service: the Data Recovery Service Editor. Note: The example above reflects a scenario, where a station saving has occurred at least once since the service was created.
