2
) wires (red and black), which should be used for the
VDC connection, and one pair of 22 AWG (0,35 mm
2
) wires (green and white), which
should be used for the RS-485 connection.
b.
Connect the four wires from the core processor to terminals 1–4 on the mating connector
of the transmitter. See Figures 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3. Never ground the shield, braid, or drain
