each device are completed. As a basic rule, the following steps may be used for each
peripheral device:
1. Connecting the UP800:
Procedure:
Connect the specified RS232 cable to the desired Channel to be assigned and install a
ferrite core (part no. RCORF6699BHZZ) within 50 cm of the connector on the connection
cable to reduce interference.
2. Cabling Specifications:
