FIGURE 2-10   Three-wire Hookup -- Load Sourcing with RS-485 Serial Communication

3.4 Four-wire Hookups

In a four-wire hookup, the transmitter can be wired two ways
depending on whether or not RS-485 serial communication
is used. At least 12 VDC is required for operation (16 VDC
with serial communication).

Depending on how the transmitter is mounted, route the DC
power, analog output, and RS-485 serial communication
wiring into the transmitter as follows:

 Wall/Pipe-mounted Transmitter: Route cable through

right side cable entry knockout hole in the back cover.

 Panel-mounted Transmitter: Route cable behind panel to

the exposed TB1 terminal strip.
