The Device is equipped with spring terminals for connecting a power source and three-wire RS-485 interface lines. All RS-485 interface ports are galvanically isolated from each other and have overvoltage protection. The Device allows for power supply input with any polarity. No configuration or additional calibration is required. The direction of data transmission is controlled automatically. The Device features two LEDs indicating power presence and five indicators showing data transmission through the respective channels. The layout of the terminals, indicators, and jumpers is shown in Figure 1.
