18. RS485 IN The function of the RS485 IN is opposite to RS85 OUT. It allows incoming communication between a DPA900/ 1500 stereo amplifier and PC or another DPA900/1500 stereo amplifier. The RS485 port is very suitable for remote control over long distances (Difficult with RS232 standard ports) and daisy-chaining several DPA900/ 1500 stereo amplifiers. 19. RS485 OUT This is the standard serial communication interface. It allows outgoing communication between a DPA900/ 1500 stereo amplifier and
