BLACK wire goes to COM (see
Port A, uses TX+ and TX- on the CPU Module and has a ground wire.
When Belden wire No. 9940 or equivalent is used, the maximum cable length for RS-232
communications at 9600 bps is 88.3 meters (250 ft.) and the maximum cable length for
RS-485 communication at 57600 bps is 600 meters (1970 ft.).
Port A supports a special override mode which forces the port to use known
communication values (19200 baud, address 32, RS-232). Note that the protocol is auto-
detected. This mode is expected to be used during meter commissioning (to establish
initial communication) and in the event that the user cannot communicate with the meter
(possibly due to an inadvertent communication configuration change). Alternately, when
using MeterLink
to connect the PC.
Each serial port can be independently configured as read only in meter serial connection
settings. Read only serial ports prevent write access, program downloads, alarm
acknowledgements and testing of outputs. The read only serial port setting is configurable
through Edit → Compare Page by modifying configuration point ReadWriteModePortA, B
or C, and changing to Read-only mode.
