2.12 Discrete Input Connections
The PM295 provides eight optically isolated dry-contact sensing (voltage-free)
discrete inputs. Figure 2-19 shows wiring for discrete inputs.

Figure 2-19 Discrete Input Connections
The dry contacts connected to discrete inputs must be floating relative to the ground
with a minimum rating of 5 VDC, 5 mA. It is also recommended to perform
connections using a shielded, twisted pair cable that is isolated from noise sources.
2.13 Communications
Connector Pinout
The communications port is optically isolated and supports both EIA RS-232 and
RS-422/485 standard interfaces (user-selectable). The serial interface connector is
standard D-type 9 pin female plug-in, located at the top center of the back of the
instrument. Tables 2-1 and 2-2 list the pinout of the connector.
NOTE
The functions of pins 4 and 5 can be programmed via keypad upon the needs of the user.
Refer to Section 5.3 on how to select the appropriate pin function.
