Protection ports connect to the COM ports on the SmartLogger. Port 4 is not connected.
Surge ports connect to the RS485 ports on other devices. Port 3 is the ground port.
Protection ports and surge ports must not be confused.
One RS485 signal SPD can protect two COM ports.
Protection ports 2 and 6 and surge ports 1 and 5 form an RS485 surge protection port for protecting
one COM port. Protection ports 8 and 12 and surge ports 7 and 11 form another RS485 surge
protection port for protecting another COM port.
An RS485 signal SPD port supports cables with a maximum cross-sectional area of 2.5 mm
2
. If
devices need to be connected to this port in parallel, use cables with a cross-sectional area of 1 mm
2
,
and connect not more than two cables to the same port.
Procedure
Connect the PE cable.
1.
Remove 8 mm of the insulation layer from the PE cable using a wire stripper.
2.
Insert the bare core wire into port 3 on the RS485 signal SPD, and secure the cable.
