MIC612 Thermal Camera
CAUTION!
Bosch recommends that multiple RS-485 connections be arranged as a connected series of
point-to-point (multidropped) nodes, as a line or as a bus. It is not recommended to arrange
RS-485 connections as a star, ring, or as a multiple-connected network. Star and ring
topologies may cause signal reflections or excessively low or high termination impedance.
In Pelco Protocol Mode, the camera is configured from the factory for RS-485 operation.
