2.4 Input power, cabinet tamper and UPS fault input wiring
The LP4502 requires 12-24 V DC power. Locate power source as close to the unit as possible.
Connect power with minimum of 18 AWG wire. Connect the GND signal to earth ground in only ONE
LOCATION within the system! Multiple earth ground connections may cause ground loop problems and is
not advised.
Observe POLARITY on 12-24 V DC input!
There are two dedicated inputs for cabinet tamper and UPS fault monitoring. Normal (safe) condition is a
closed contact. If these inputs are not used, install a jumper wire.

2.5 Communication wiring

The LP4502 controller communicates with the host via the on-board Ethernet 10-BaseT/100Base-TX port
and/or the Micro USB port (2.0) with an optional Micro USB to Ethernet adapter.
The serial I/O device communication ports, TB2 for port 1 and TB3 for port 2, are 2-wire RS-485 interface
which can be used to connect additional I/O panels. The interface allows multi-drop communication on a
single bus of up to 4,000 feet (1,219 m). Use 1-twisted pair, shielded cable, 120Ω impedance, 24 AWG, 4,000
ft. (1,219 m) maximum for communication.
Caution:  Install the termination jumper ONLY on the panel at each end of the RS-485 bus. Failure to do so will
compromise the proper operation of the communication channel.
