Wiring GMW95 
The RS-485 line of the transmitter is isolated from the power supply. A 
separate ground reference terminal (GND) is provided for the RS-485 
connection. 
If you are using a shielded cable, you can use the Shld terminal to hold 
the exposed part of the shield. Note that the Shld terminal is floating 
(not electrically connected).

Connecting Several Transmitters on Same RS-485 
Line 
Set the RS-485 termination jumper to “ON” on the transmitter that is at 
the end of the line. This terminates the line with a 120 Ω resistor. For 
location of the jumper, see Figure 4 on page 17. 
Connect the cable shield to ground on the building controller side.
