Reliable network termination for stable BACnet MS/TP communication
The i‑Vu® Biasing Terminator (BT485) ensures dependable BACnet MS/TP network performance by properly terminating and biasing RS‑485 network segments, reducing communication errors caused by noise, reflections, and signal distortion.
Network Device
Carrier's ancillary network devices ensure optimum performance for BACnet MS/TP and other EIA-485 networks. These devices install easily and work together to amplify data signals and provide surge protection, bias and termination to any EIA-485 network.

‑20°F to 140°F (‑29°C to 60°C)
0.5 in (12 mm) width
0.6 in (15 mm) height
RS‑485 / BACnet MS/TP network termination and biasing device
It stabilizes RS‑485 networks by preventing signal reflections and electrical noise that can cause communication errors.
It should be installed at each end of a BACnet MS/TP network segment longer than 10 feet.
No. Only the first and last devices on a network segment require a biasing terminator.
No. It is a passive device and does not require an external power source.
