Watlow PM PLUS™ 6 • 30 • Chapter 2: Installation
Wiring Notes
Maximum wire size termi-
nation and torque rating:
0.0507 to 3.30 mm2 (30
to 12 AWG) single-wire
termination or two 1.31
mm2 (16 AWG)
0.56 Nm (5.0 in-lb.)
torque
Adjacent terminals may
be labeled differently
depending on the model
number.
Do not connect wires to
unused terminals.
Maintain electrical isola-
tion between analog
input 1, digital input-
outputs, switched dc/
open collector outputs
and process outputs to
prevent ground loops.
This equipment is suit-
able for use in CLASS
I, DIVISION 2, Groups
A, B, C and D or Non-
Hazardous locations only.
Temperature Code T4A
Wiring Warnings
ç
Use National Electric
(NEC) or other country-
specic standard wiring
and safety practices
when wiring this control-
ler to a power source,
electrical sensors or pe-
ripheral devices. Failure
to do so may result in
damage to equipment
and property, and/or in-
jury or loss of life.
Explosion Hazard - Dry
contact closure Digital
Inputs shall not be used
in Class I Division 2 Haz-
ardous Locations unless
switch used is approved
for this application.
Explosion Hazard – Sub-
stitution of component
may impair suitability for
CLASS I, DIVISION 2.
Explosion Hazard - Do
not disconnect while the
circuit is live or unless
the area is known to be
free of ignitable concen-
trations of ammable
substances.

• Wire T-/R- to the A terminal of the EIA-485 port.
• Wire T+/R+ to the B terminal of the EIA-485 port.
• Wire common to the common terminal of the EIA-485 port.
• Do not route network wires with power wires. Connect network wires
in daisy-chain fashion when connecting multiple devices in a network.
• A termination resistor may be required. Place a 120 Ω resistor across
T+/R+ and T-/R- of last controller on network.
• Do not wire to both the EIA-485 and the EIA-232 pins at the same
time.
• Two EIA-485 terminals of T/R are provided to assist in daisy-chain
wiring.
• Do not connect more than one controller on an EIA-232 network.
• Maximum number of controllers on a Modbus
®
network is 247.
• Maximum EIA-232 network length: 15 meters (50 feet)
• Maximum EIA-485 network length: 1,200 meters (4,000 feet)
