cable to the 3-pin connector supplied with the inline meter, using a CAT6 cable:
a. Detach the RS485 connector from the inline meter.
b. Prepare the three wires, exposing 10 mm of insulation .
c. Connect the wires to the A+ and B- terminals. Make sure the wires are twisted.
d. Connect the shield to the G terminal.
e. Re-attach the RS485 connector to the meter.
NOTE
The maximum supported length of the RS485 cable is 1000 meters.
