4.2.3

Configuration of the network

The FP1500 allows the interconnection of up to 10 control units and/or repeaters on a
network. The connection of control units is made through the RS485 serial port on the
main board.
Figure 15. Connection for RS485
The cable must be connected on the A and B terminals of each of the control units on the
network. (See section 3.5.1)
To avoid communication problems, you must install a 150-Ohm / ¼ W resistor on the first
and last control units.
