RS-485 Wiring
RS-485 connections are made using the 6-pin screw down plug-in
type connector included with each SSC-W485 controller. This
connector plugs into the connection on the rear of the controller.
Making Connections
1.!Remove power if applied.
2.!Pull to remove the 6-pin terminal block from the rear of the
controller.
3.!With a small flat bladed screwdriver, turn the screws on top of
the connector counterclockwise until the silver crimps in the rear
of the connector opens enough to slide the wire(s) into the
square slots.
4.!Strip back the insulation on each of the wires ¼inch. Using the
diagram above, insert the stripped wires into their proper ports.
There should be no bare wires protruding from the rear of the
connector.
5.!Turn the screws clockwise until the crimp tightens around the
wire. Tug on the wire a bit to verify they are installed securely.
6.!Continue until all wires are installed.
7.!Plug terminal block back into the rear of the controller.
8.!Reapply power.
HELPFUL INFORMATION!
-!If having trouble with RS-485 communications, a terminating
resistor may be needed between the Data+ and Data– signals.
To add the resistor (internal to controller), follow steps 3-5
and insert a #24 AWG or larger wire between the two Term
ports.
-!Multi-shade installation and wiring information is available in
the Shades Installation and Wiring Guide (009-1532-xx)
located on the Savant Customer Community.
Connecting to a Wireless Network
To provision the SSC-W485 controller onto a local network, one of
the following methods can be used:
-!SmartConnect Application – version 1.6 or later.
-!Embedded Web UI.
Both methods are described in the Shades Provisioning and
Programming Guide (009-1525-xx).

Power Wiring
The SSC-W485 was designed without the need for an individual power supply to power it. Having individual 24V In and 24V Out ports allow
the controller to sit inline as shown in the diagram below.
