Wiring and Power
Management
This chapter describes how to connect the power supply and the serial interfaces and how
to manage and es
timate power consumption.
You can access the transmitter through the following serial interfaces:
• RS-232
• RS-485
• RS-422
• SDI-12
• mA output (WXT532)
You can wire them either through the internal screw terminal or the 8-pin M12 connector.
You can use only one serial interface at a time.
The cable opening in the transmitter bottom assembly is covered with
hex
agonal rubber plugs. If you are not using the cable gland (included in the Bushing
and Grounding Kit), keep the opening covered.
CAUTION!
