Power/Signal Terminal Strip
The power/signal terminal strip is a three position plug-in style terminal strip located at the top of the left
terminal column. It is used to connect 24 VDC power to the M2A and to connect the 4 - 20 mA output signal to a
device.
The signal output, the S terminal, does not have to be connected for the M2A to function. The S terminal is used
if you want to connect the 4 - 20 mA output signal to a recording device.
Detector Terminal Strip
The detector terminal strip is a four position plug-in style terminal strip and is the middle terminal strip in the left
terminal column.
NOTE: The detector is factory-wired to the M2A. See "Wiring the M2A Transmitter" on page 15 for all
wiring procedures related to M2A.
Modbus Terminal Strip
The Modbus terminal strip is a three position plug-in style terminal strip and is the bottom terminal strip in the
left terminal column. This terminal strip is not used in this version of the M2A.
Relay Terminal Strips
The right column of terminal strips consists of, from top to bottom, the fail, alarm 1, and alarm 2 relay terminal
strips. They are three-position plug-in style terminal strips. The relay terminal strips are used to connect devices
such as lights and horns that are controlled by the relay contacts. The relay contacts are rated at 115 VAC, 5
amps. The relay contacts may also be used to control higher rated relays.
Termination Jumper
A two pin header with a termination jumper installed is located below the Modbus terminal strip. This jumper
has no function in this version of the M2A and should be left alone.
