Connection to RS485 Bus

Wiring recommendations
• Use a shielded cable with 2 pairs of twisted conductors
• Connect the reference potentials (0V) to one another
• Maximum length of line: 1000 metres
• Maximum length of tap-off: 20 metres
• Cable routing: Keep the bus away from the power cables (at least 30 cm) with any crossovers at right-angles
if necessary, and connect the cable shielding to the ground of each device.
• Fit a line terminator at both ends of the line.

• Each ATS48 integrates two 4.7 kohm pulldown resistors which improve bus immunity.
If the master is also fitted with 4.7 kohm pulldown resistors, up to 27 starters can be connected.
If the pulldown resistors on the master are 470 ohm, up to 18 starters can be connected.
