Battery Backup

TerminalConnection
Bat+12V battery positive
Bat-12V battery negative

Note: Maximum charging current 700mA. Battery provides backup power for security and CPU.

RS-485 Bus Wiring

TerminalConnection
RS485-0A / RS485-1AData line A (positive)
RS485-0B / RS485-1BData line B (negative)

Important: RS-485 bus needs proper line termination with 120Ω resistors at each end. baseSAFE has integrated termination resistors - set dipswitch SW2 position 1 to "on" to enable.
