4 MOUNTING
The following mounting options are available:
Product comes with tabs for wall or surface mount. These can be snapped off if not required.
DIN Rail Mounting Bracket - included in the accessory kit or ordered separately (part # FS-8915-35-
QS).
NOTE: Install only as instructed, failure to follow the installation guidelines or using screws without the
DIN Rail Mounting Bracket could result in permanent damage to the product.
NOTE: If the FieldServer is removed from the din rail, use the original screws to reattach. Longer
screws will damage the FieldServer.

4.2 Wiring
4.2.1 Bias Resistors
The QuickServer bias resistors are used to keep the RS-485 bus to a known state, when there is no
transmission on the line (bus is idling), to help prevent false bits of data from being detected. The bias
resistors typically pull one line high and the other low - i.e. far away from the decision point of the logic.
In the RS-485 carrier, the bias resistor is 510 ohms which is in line with the BACnet spec. It should only
be enabled at one point on the bus (on the Brian field port were there are very weak bias resistors of
100k). Since there are no jumpers, many Brains can be put on network without running into the bias
resistor limit which is < 500 ohms.
NOTE: See www.ni.com/support/serial/resinfo.htm for additional pictures and notes.
Bias Resistors
Figure 5: Bias Resistors

QuickServer Start-Up Guide
Page 13 of 46
4.2.2 Termination Resistor
Termination resistors are also used to reduce noise. These pull the two lines of an idle bus together.
However, they would override the effect of any bias resistors, if connected.
Termination Resistor

4.2.3 Power Jumper Settings
The QuickServer Carrier Board power jumper is set to position A by default, but can be changed to
position B for other power supply requirements.
Position A: The Carrier makes use of a full-wave rectifying bridge. Can be used for 12-24 VAC input or
9 –30 VDC input. At 9 VDC this becomes marginal.
Position B: The Carrier makes use of a half-wave rectifying bridge. Best position for Grounded AC
Transformers and for using DC voltage down to 9VDC.
