10.2: Installing Nexus
Output modules must use the Nexus® 1262/1272 meter's Port 4. Six feet of RS485 cable harness is
supplied. Attach one end of the cable to the port (connectors may not be supplied); insert the other
end into the communication pins of the module's Male RS485 Side Port. Follow steps below and
see Figure 10.2 below. See Section 10.3 for details on using multiple Output modules.
