About this Manual
This instruction manual is intended to provide the user with complete and easy-to-follow instructions
for installation of Innotech Communication networks. In preparing these instructions, Innotech
assumed that the installer is familiar with the installation of RS485 Communication networks.
The following instructions and procedures are presented at a technical level that assumes familiarity
with networks and local electrical rules and regulations.
Because each network is designed to be configured to its own application requirements and since
each customer's application is different, no two sites will be the same. However, the following rules
and information will cover any possible scenarios.
