Communication protocol
A proprietary Sanyo protocol (SSP: Security Serial
Protocol) is used. Use of a special controller for operation
is recommended. To obtain this controller, contact a Sanyo
service centre.
Termination settings
When connecting multiple devices, you must make
termination settings on both end devices.
z Set the RS-485 termination switch of both end devices
to ON.
z Be sure to set the RS-485 termination switches of all
devices in between (devices other than the first and last
devices) to OFF.
z If you don't make the correct termination settings, data
will be distorted and will affect other data, making the
data transmitted to each device incorrect.
