65-2670-XX-04 M2A Transmitter Operator’s Manual

Ground Jumper
The M2A includes a 2-pin ground header (see Figure 4 on page 13) that is used when the M2A is used
in a Modbus system. Every M2A is supplied with a ground jumper (a jumper block) installed onto this
header. If the M2A isn’t wired into a Modbus system or if it is wired into one as shown in Figure 12,
the ground jumper should be installed. If the M2A is wired in a Modbus system as shown in Figure 11,
the ground jumper should be removed.
Recommended Modbus Wiring
The recommended Modbus wiring for the M2A is illustrated in Figure 11 below. In this configuration,
5 wires are used for wiring the M2A into a Modbus system. Figure 11 also illustrates typical alarm
device wiring. The ground jumper must be removed in this wiring configuration.
Adding an M2A to an Existing M2 Modbus Installation with Recommended Wiring
An M2A can be wired into an existing M2 Modbus system. The shape of the terminal PCB will be
different but the wiring connections are identical and the ground jumper on the M2A must still be
removed.
