DIP Switch
You can change the DIP switch to avoid impedance
mismatched problems.
• For RS-422, move DIP switch 1 down and switch 2
up to ON to enable 120 ohms terminal resistor
• For RS-485, move DIP switch 1 up to ON and switch
2 down to enable 120 ohms terminal resistor
• Move switch 1 & 2 down to disable terminal resistor
