Depending on the communication type ordered the following cables may be provided
with the display:
1. Interconnect cable from primary to echo, length 10 feet
2. Temperature sensor with quick connect cable, length 10 feet

A display that is controlled using RS232 requires the use of a J-box within 25 feet of
the display. From the J-box to the display, the signal will be wired directly to the
controller inside the display. The cable from the J-box to the display must be routed
though conduit.
Do not run signal and display power through the same conduit.
1. Terminate one end at the J-box and the other end of the wire to the 6-
position terminal block on the controller labeled “RS232 IN” (A31-TB1).
