About

this Pr

oduct

These instructions describe the installation of a PPX:505–6860 RS-485/RF I/O Channel Converter in the SIMA controller

The PPX:505–6860 converter allows the use of coaxial cables in a 505 system (extending the maximum distance to 4 km) by converting the RS-485 interface to an RF interface. This also permits use of dual media from a 545/555 to the I/O bases.

Installing a PPX:505–6860 converter also allows you to update an existing 560/565 system, that is already using coaxial cables, with a 545/555 and 575 advantages of greater speed, dual media, and greater remote distance.
