Note: An indep12-24 Vdc
power supply is required when
using an RST-6001 Modbus Controller.
The RST-6001 can only supply ±5 Vdc,
not the +12-24 Vdc required by the MPX.

IMPORTANT
: For surge protection on MPX-E4 or -R4, either connect the grounding
screw (see pages 1-3) to an earth ground, or ensure that the tank mounting of the MPX is
grounded.
