APPENDIX D — OPTIONAL BACNET COMMUNICATIONS WIRING (cont)
To install a BT485 terminator, push the BT485 terminator
on to the BT485 connector located near the BACnet connector.
NOTE: The BT485 terminator has no polarity associated with
it.
To order a BT485 terminator, consult Commercial Products
i-Vu Open Control System Master Prices.
MS/TP WIRING RECOMMENDATIONS — Recommen-
dations are shown in Tables C and D. The wire jacket and UL
temperature rating specifications list two acceptable alterna-
tives. The Halar specification has a higher temperature rating
and a tougher outer jacket than the SmokeGard specification,
and it is appropriate for use in applications where the user is
concerned about abrasion. The Halar jacket is also less likely to
crack in extremely low temperatures.
NOTE: Use the specified type of wire and cable for maximum
signal integrity.
