Appendix A: Wiring Diagram The first drawing shows the electronics as they are wired from the factory. Most wiring will be done to the terminal block TB1. This includes input power, alarms, and interfacing with your plant control system. The antennas, clip detector and swing away switch are wired directly to the appropriate connections on the main board (bypassing TB1) For every numbered terminal position on TB1 there are 4 terminals.
