Communication Cable

The remote monitor uses RS485 communication via a standard 8-wire RJ45 telephone cable (straight-through,
not a Null Modem / cross-over). If possible, pull the cable through conduit before crimping on the RJ45
connectors. If using pre-assembled cables, take care not to damage the plugs when the cables are pulled
through conduit.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Never route network cables in the same conduit as the power conductors.
3.9.2

Connections

The RJ45/RS485 communication port on the controller will provide power to the Remote Monitor for lengths of
5M or less. For distances greater than 5m, the Remote Monitor will require an auxiliary 5VDC power input.
IMPORTANT: Cable length cannot exceed 1 kilometer.
IMPORTANT: If the Remote Monitor shows error "102", please check the cable connection.
