This user guide is designed to assist anyone wishing to install the Diligence 600 Multi-Parameter 2-Way Adaptor Box (RF615B) and sets out the various types of transducer that the adaptor can accommodate, as well as detail the relevant connectivity. It should be noted that the Diligence 600 Multi-Parameter 2-Way Adaptor Box (RF615B) is only designed to work with the Diligence 600 WiFi Multi-Parameter Transmitter (RF615) which itself is suited to a wide range of applications and is capable of measuring parameters such as current, voltage, pressure, gas,...

The Multi-Parameter 2-Way Adaptor Box (RF615B) is opened by undoing the two screws located on the rear (underside) of the device. Inside you will see the PCB with several different terminals, as indicated below. All connections are made using the screw terminals provided. Please note that you might need to insert two wires into any of the screw terminals.

The Adaptor Box is divided into two channels which are labelled (CH1 and CH2) as indicated below. If two adaptor boxes are used, via a Y Adaptor (RF602Y), then channel 1 will be reflected as channel 3 on the connected transmitter, and channel 2 as channel 4.

The Multi-Parameter 2-Way Adaptor Box (RF615B) is pre-fitted with three cable grommets which should be used for bringing cables in and out of the housing. The Adaptor Box also includes connections for a 24V mains power supply unit (PSU) in order that power can be supplied to connected devices. It should be noted that some transducers require a separate PSU.
Page 8
The 24V PSU connection to the Adaptor Box (RF615B) includes two additional connectors, to allow power output to the transducer. The ground connection should be used for both the PSU and connections to 0V on the transducers. In some special cases, current (4-20mA) transducers do not have a separate output for the signal and rely on the two-wire connection for both sensor power and the output to the loop.

Here the transducer has four connections, two for power in and two for the signal out. It is possible that the ground input may be shared with the 0V output thus having only three connections instead of four. It may not be necessary to use the power connections inside the Adaptor Box as power can be provided direct to the transducer.

In this example, the transducer has four connections, two for power in and two for the signal out. It is possible that the ground input may be shared with the 0V output thus having only three connections instead of four. In this instance the 4-20mA current transducer is not loop-powered and has separate power input and current output.

With this option, the transducer is powered by the loop current flowing around the circuit. Two loop-powered transducers can still be connected, but the wiring of each should be kept separate. The second transducer should be wired in parallel with the first to ensure that there are two current loops. If you are breaking into an existing current loop, i.e., in a factory environment, you do not need the additional PSU connection.
Environmental Protection The Multi-Parameter 2-Way Adaptor Box (RF615B) is not waterproof and therefore should not be used in damp or wet environments. Nor is it rated for intrinsically safe applications. Before Connecting Power We recommend that all wiring is checked thoroughly prior to connecting power.
