VI. SET-UP
1. The enclosure has been mounted.
2. Determine Point to Point or Multi-Point configuration. See Figure 10 for Dip Switch settings.
3. Serial cable has been wired, and power has been wired and turned on.
4. Ensure the Power Indicator LED light is solid red and that Serial Data In/Out LEDs are flashing. See
Figure 5.
No additional programming is required. All radio enclosures should automatically begin sending and receiving signals.
NOTE: Communication device types cannot be mixed. RS-485 devices must be connected to another RS-485
device; it will not receive signals to or from a RS-422 device.
To ensure unit is functioning properly, check the LED indicator lights.

Indicator LEDs
Yellow (top) = Serial Data Out (to host)
Green (middle) = Serial Data In (from host)
Red (bottom) = Power/TX Indicator (Red light
is on when powered; it pulses on/off briefly
during RF transmissions
If indicator lights are not working, please proceed to the Troubleshooting section of this manual for assistance.
Notes (Used for Figures 6-9):
1. All remote devices must use the same protocol.
2. If device protocol = RS485, then InvisiLink Base must be RS485.
If Device Protocol = RS422 or 4-20 mA, then InvisiLink Base must be RS422.
