RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy,
and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication.
It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing
device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case
the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be
necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

2. Introduction
The RS-485 Repeater Hub expands one RS-485
2-wire port to four RS-485 2-wire ports. The CPU
port connects to your existing 2-wire multidrop line
as usual, and up to four RS-485 2-wire lines may be
connected to the remaining ports.
A typical application uses a polled environment
where a master device polls the connected
equipment, and each unit has a unique identity. All
connected devices receive the poll from the master,
but only the device whose identity matches the poll
request will respond.
The RS-485 Repeater Hub delivers the poll request
to all four ports and delivers the response to the CPU
port. The Hub contains terminations that can be
applied by installing the appropriate internal shunt.
You can select termination individually for each port,
including the CPU port.
All ports have LED indicators, which flash when the
Hub receives data. A Power LED glows steadily when
proper power is supplied.
All data connections are made via female DB9
connectors. The metal case is internally grounded

RS-485 REPEATER HUB
to the earth ground carried to the AC wall receptacle
via the wallmount transformer. Using the two tabs in
the enclosure, the Hub can be mounted on a flat
surface.
You can also install a surge-suppressed power strip
between to AC transformer and the AC line to
provide additional protection to the Hub. When
using a power strip, make sure the earth-ground
connection is secure from the AC outlet through
the strip to the Hub.
You can special-order an RS-485 Repeater Hub with
an optional surge protector built into the unit. Call
Technical Support for more information.

3. Installation
WARNING!
Ground-potential differences are a hazard not only to
your equipment, but to you as well. During installation,
never work with any device connected to the AC power
line. Make all connections to all devices before
connecting any of them to sources of AC power.
1. Keeping in mind the warning above, position
the RS-485 Repeater Hub in a clean, stable
environment near a 115-volt AC power source.
Fasten the Hub to a flat surface using two #10
screws.
NOTE
The Hub’s metal enclosure is connected to earth ground
via the AC transformer. The surface to which the Hub is
mounted should also be at local earth-ground potential
if the surface is metal. Fastening the Hub with screws
which scuff the paint on the Hub’s mounting tabs will
establish an earth-ground connection to a metal
mounting surface.
2. Route your main data cable from the main data
line to the Hub’s CPU port. Secure the
connections by tightening the data connector’s
screwlocks.
3. Route up to four more data cables from your
devices to the remaining port(s) on the Hub.
Secure the connectors.
