The dual RS-485 module also provides an SDI-12 connection. The SDI-
12 line uses one wire for data and is limited to the maximum length of
60 meters. Figure 129 below provides a schematic wiring diagram for the
SDI-12 connection and the 12 VDC power supply for a sensor. The
jumper settings should be as shown in Figure 127 on page 241.

Simultaneously with the SDI-12, you can connect channels A and B in
the 2-wire RS-485 mode.
