The Nexus® 1262/1272 meter’s power supply does not supply power to external
displays. You must use a power source, such as the EIG PB1 (12 V). (See Section
10.2.1 for PSIO details.)
RS485 communication is viable for up to 4000 feet (1219 meters). Be sure to do the
following:
1. Connect the shield to the shield (S) terminal on the Display port. The (S) terminal
on the meter is used to reference the meter’s port to the same potential as the
source. It is not an earth-ground connection. You may also connect the shield to
earth-ground at one point.
2. Provide termination resistors at each end for longer runs (typically 500’ or more),
connected to the + and - lines. RT is approximately 120 Ohms.
NOTE:
The P40N+ and legacy P40N connect the same way, through the port on the
back of the display. The only difference is in the port labeling.
