» Instructions for connection with RS485
Serial Line
The WM-UH-ECM control panel can be super-
vised remotely using the Mod-Bus RS485 pro-
tocol.
Particular attention must be given in electri-
cally connecting a heater unit network using
serial connection:
1. type of conductor to be used: shielded
twisted pair 24 AWG, flexible.
2. the network overall length must not exceed
700/800 metres.
3. a maximum of 12 unit heaters can be con-
nected.

» Installation notes
• Tighten the cables to a force of less than
12 kg. A greater force may fray the cables

the
• do not twist, knot, crush or fray the cables;
• Do not lay the signal and power cables
together;
• if they must cross, intersection must be at
90°;
• do not join cable sections. Always use only
one cable to connect the individual units
together.
• do not excessively tighten the cables
under the terminal connection clamps.
Carefully strip the cable end. Do not crush
the cable at cable glands or safety supports;
• always respect the colours position in cor-

• install the cables and units minimizing
the possibility of accidental contacts with
other power cables or potentially dangerous
cables, such as the lighting system cables;
• Do not lay the 12 V power supply and commu-
nication cables near power rods, lights, anten-
nae, transformers or hot water or steam pipes;
• never position the communication cables
in any conduits, pipes, junction boxes or other
container together with the power cables or
lighting system cables;
• always adequately separate communication
cables from all other electrical cables;
• keep the communication cables and the
units, at least 2 metres away from units with
heavy inductive loads (distribution panels,
motors, generators for lighting systems).
» Clamp for the connection with the network
Respect the connection symbols during the
serial connection of the units:
- clamp "D-" with clamp "D-"
- clamp "D+" with clamp "D+"
- clamp "0": connect the serial cable shielding.
