The RS-485 Power Adapter can be used for injecting 24 VDC from an external 24 VDC power supply to an RS-485 based network such as Room Bus or Sensor Bus. This is useful, for example, in applications where you want to extend the RS-485 bus by connecting (daisy-chaining) additional devices, which the RP or MP controller would otherwise not be able to power. The external power supply is connected to the bus via the adapter.
Before use, check the required ratings for the external 24 VDC power supply. Para obtener más información, consulte RS-485 Power Adapter .
This section gives an example of how the adapter can be used to inject 24 VDC to an RS-485 bus for extension of the bus when more devices than the allowed limit need to be connected:
Example with Sensor Bus for an MP-V controller
The following figure shows an example of how an RS-485 Power Adapter is used to inject 24 VDC from an external 24 VDC power supply to an MP-V controller Sensor Bus so that the maximum number of SpaceLogic Sensor devices with sensor bases with CO 2 option can be increased from two to four devices. Para obtener más información, consulte MP-V Sensor Bus .The adapter is typically placed after the second device on the bus where it is used to power the third and fourth devices. The adapter is connected to the Sensor Bus by means of two Cat 5 (or higher) UTP cables (not included). The isolated, non-grounded (floating) 24 VDC output from the external power supply is connected to the screw terminals marked 24 VDC and GND on the adapter.
Separate connection cables are required to connect the two RJ45 ports on the RS-485 Power Adapter to the RS-485 Com port (RJ45) on the RP or MP controller and to other daisy-chained devices with RJ45 interface on the RS-485 bus. The cables are not included and need to be purchased separately.
Use a Cat 5 (or higher) unshielded, straight-through wired cable with eight conductors (four twisted pairs) and RJ45 connectors. Use a cable with the wire size (cross-sectional area) 22 to 26 AWG (0.34 to 0.14 mm²), and a rating that meets the requirements of the target environment. For example, when devices are installed in a space that handles conditioned air or return air, the cables typically need to be plenum-rated.

The external power supply should have an isolated, non-grounded (floating) 24 VDC output.
It is recommended to move the slide switch on the adapter to the EXT (External) position before connecting the external 24 VDC power supply.
The four screw terminals are wired and connected to an external 24 VDC power supply as described in the following table.
