Note: For RS-485 2-wire functionality, pins 1 & 4 and 2 & 3 of the screw terminals must be
connected together.
Note: Termination resistors (R = 120 Ohm) are used to match impedance of a node to the
impedance of the transmission (TX) line. Termination resistors should be placed only at the
extreme ends of the data line, and no more than two terminations should be placed in any
single segment of a RS-485 network. The terminator resistors may not be needed for your
application.
