Pyramid AC Receiver Installation Manual
PY-COM NETWORK CARDS
If a PY-COM network card is fitted to the AC receiver, it can be configured by means of dip switches for use in both RS485
and RS422 networks. The dip switches for the different network types are shown below:
RS485 Mode
RS485 networks are 2-wire, bus-connected (also referred to as daisy-chain). In RS485 mode, the dip-switches on the
PY-COM will be set differently depending on where the unit is placed on the network. If the unit is the first or last in the
network, one network card in the unit will need to be set to provide biasing and termination as required. If the unit is central
to the network, all network cards will be set for use in a intermediate module.
Set the switches as required and wire the card to the network as shown in Figure 11. It is not necessary to make any
connections to the filter board.

the network as shown in Figure 12. It is not necessary to make any connections to the filter board.

FIBRE-OPTIC NETWORK CARDS
If a PY-FI7 or PY-FI9 network card is being used, there is no need to make any connections through the filter board, as
these network cards are connected to the network directly. For details on to do this, see the installation guide that is
provided with the network card.
