CONNECTIONS DIAGRAMS (WMX101) WMX101 Cable Color Codes The WMX101 requires a power source of 8 to 32 Vdc at 30 mA max (see WARNING). The WMX101 power cable also Orange and Blue: Serial Output (Do Not Use) Green (+) and White (-): Pulse Output, 30 Vdc max, 10 mA max serves as a pulse output if needed for remote reading, data Red (+) and Black (-): External Power, 8-32 Vdc at 30 mA max logging, signal conversion, or telemetry.
