RS485 Wired inputs
The RS485 terminals are used to connect compatible sensors and switches.
The connection allows sensors be daisy chained to simplify wiring. The maximum length of cable run from
the unit is limited to 250m. Once accessories are wired to the unit, they must be paired to the unit to
function correctly.
