General
Remember the following when installing the ImproX DBv:
Communications Distance
The RS485 communications distance between the ImproX Controller and the LAST
ImproX unit in a cable run, MUST NOT exceed 1 km (1 090 yd). Achieve this by using
good quality screened, twisted 2-pair cable, with the screen EARTHED at one end.
Jumper Links
Long transmission lines or multiple “star” connections, may cause communication
problems. Placing a Jumper Link across the jumper [TR1] in the LAST UNIT AT THE
END OF THE CABLE RUN should solve the problem.
EARTH Connection
Connect the Drop Box to a good EARTH point. Using the RS485 Port, connect the
EARTH Lead to the „ ‟ Terminal. Mains EARTH can be used, but electrical noise
may exist.

Drop Box Connection
Distance between Drop Boxes
To avoid mutual interference, install the Drop Boxes alongside each other at least
500 mm (20 in) apart.
Antenna Reader Connection
Antenna Reader Distance
As the Drop Box makes use of the connections to “Reader 1”, “Reader 2”is available
for connection to any ONE of the available Antenna Readers.
The ideal cable distance between the Drop Box and its Antenna Reader ranges
between 2 m to 16 m (7 ft to 53 ft). Achieve this by using good quality screened,
twisted pair cable.
Distance between the Antenna Reader and the Drop Box
To avoid mutual interference, install the Antenna Reader and the Drop Box alongside
each other at least 150 mm (6 in) apart.
Distance between Antenna Readers from DIFFERENT Drop Boxes
To avoid mutual interference, install the Antenna Readers alongside each other at least
500 mm (20 in) apart.
Arc Suppression
Snubber devices are recommended for EMF Flyback and Arc Suppression when
driving an inductive load with the Relay, see Figure 1.
