For a 2-wire RS-485 connection the Tx+ and Tx-
terminals must be connected, while the Rx+ and Rx-
terminals may remain unconnected (no need for jumpers).

RS-485 connections need terminating resistors to
reduce voltage reflections that can cause the receiver to
misread the logic level.
Proving signals
The connection of the prover signals depends on the Spirit
IT
Flow-X type and the prover set-up.
Flow-X/P
Ball prover / Compact prover
 Connect the flow pulse signals to the corresponding modules
 Connect all detector signals to all run modules
 All applicable prove signals (except the detector signals) may
be distributed over the available modules (they only have to be
connected once):
– prover pressure(s)
– prover temperature(s)
– prover densitometer
– 4-way valve commands and statuses
– prover commands and statuses
Master meter proving based on pulses
 Connect the flow pulse signals to the corresponding run
module(s) and master meter module
 Connect a digital output of the “Master Meter” module to a
digital input (prove detector in) of itself and all run modules
Master meter proving based on totals
 No connections to be made (except from the pulse inputs in
case of pulse meters)
