3.12. Communication Wiring
The Power Xpert Meter (PXM 4000/6000/8000) has inverted terminal blocks for CM4 - the
24V Auxiliary I/O Power and CM6 - the Display Power. These inverted terminal blocks
prevent the user from crossing 24v source and communication terminals.
RS485 fail safe biasing resistors are used at each master port.
Eaton strongly recommends using ferrules on wire ends when connecting to a terminal
block.
When connecting to a terminal block, the twisted pair sensitivity is critical for COM0,
COM1 and COM2. This means that the Data A wire must match up with Data A on the
terminal and the Data B wire must match up with Data B on the terminal.
**RS485 maximum cable length is dictated by baud rate. Above 38.4Kbaud the length is restricted to 2,000 ft.
