9.1.2 Analogue inputs-Probes
Temperature probes
The temperature probes have no characteristic insertion polarity and can be

Eliwell supplied cables are recommended. Contact Eliwell sales department for
itemavailability.
9.1.3 RS485 connection
RS485
Use a shielded and “twisted” , twin-conductor 0.5mm2 section cable, plus
braiding (i.e. Belden cable model 8762 with PVC sleeve, 2 conductors plus
braiding,20AWG,nominalcapacitybetween89pFconductors,nominalcapacity
