RS485 communication is viable for up to 4000 feet (1219 meters). Follow the wiring
shown in Figure 5.10 and be sure to:
1. Connect the + and - terminals on the meter to the + and - terminals of the female
RS485 port. Connect the shield to the shield (S) terminal. 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 more than
500’), connected to the + and - lines. RT is approximately 120 Ohms.
NOTES:
• The meter has some level of termination internally and usually resistors are not
needed.
• Refer to the Cable Color Key on pages 6-5 to 6-7.
