marked SH should be connected to the shield of the RS-485 network cable. Do NOT connect the shield
to earth.
These three connections at this terminal block are optional and only needed when remotely accessing the
C-100MB through Modbus.
A good quality twisted-pair shielded cable should be used for the RS-485 network. The cable should
connect to each device on the network in a daisy-chain fashion. Branch lines or splits are not
recommended. The maximum length of the cable should be 4,000 feet or 1,220 meters.
This port has built-in line biasing and termination.
3.2.4 External Start Input
The External Start connection (CN4) is a two wire terminal block located towards the left of the printed
circuit board. It is identified with CN4 and an open switch symbol. These two terminal screws are polarity
independent and are intended only for a dry contact closure, such as a relay output from a PLC or a
pushbutton switch. This connection does not source or sink any negligible amount of current so a quality
twisted-pair cable of 20 to 22 AWG wiring is sufficient. A shielded cable is not required; however, if one is
used leave the shield un-connected at the console.
The External Start connection is optional and only needed when a PLC/DCS or remote pushbutton switch
is needed to initiate a measurement. This input can only trigger one SmartBob sensor but can be
assigned to any one on the network. This input is negative edge-triggered, meaning the dry contact must
be cycled open and then closed again to initiate a new measurement.
