Terminating The Smartsensor 6-Conductor Cable - Wavetronix Click 65 Series User Manual

Surge protection
You don't need to do anything to get the surge protection running;
just be aware that this device provides protection for the cabinet
from surges coming in on the sensor cables. (SmartSensor devices
have their own onboard surge protection.)

Terminating the SmartSensor 6-conductor cable

Each Click 650 can interface with up to four sensors; the 656, up
to six. The back of each device contains connectors, labeled 1
through 4 or 6, from top to bottom. (The schematic diagram printed
on the side of the Click 65x lists the numbers in order, in case of
confusion.) These connectors are where you'll plug in the sensor
cables. Connecting your sensors to the Click 65x provides the sen-
sors with DC power, lets you configure the sensor, and allows the
sensor to send its detection data back to the cabinet.
Before you can plug in the cables, you'll need to terminate each
cable into one of the terminal blocks included with your Click 65x.
