3.3 Printer Connection
The printer (DR-295 / DR-298) is directly supplied with a 24V voltage
supply from the driver's cabin.
The data leads are connected as usual to the MultiFlow or, with the AI
version, to the TXD, RXD and 0V terminals in the terminal box.
If a Tally printer with RS-485 connection is used, the connection must be
made according to the supplied circuit diagrams.
3.4 Routing the Cables in the Vehicle
The MultiFlow is a measurement device which has been designed for
vehicle use.
To ensure trouble-free operation, a few guidelines, described in the
previous sections, must be followed during installation.
If these guidelines are not followed, faults in operation may occur.
§ Where the guidelines have evidently not been followed or the installation
has not been properly carried out (contravention of applicable
regulations), we accept no guarantee when faults occur nor any
consequential claims arising from them.
Lay an extra supply lead as voltage supply for the MultiFlow.
Use a cable with 1 mm² cross-section.
The cable for voltage supply needs not to be screened.
Use for communication and signal cables only shielded cable. The shield
connection is to be connected only at one end of the line to ground.
