    4.1 Battery Installation or Replaced The LSR-803 series sensor may be powered by four (4) AA alkaline batteries if not being used in a 24 VDC powered format from a controller. It is very important that you do not use rechargeable nickel cadmium (NiCad) or lithium batteries.

  • Page 7: Wiring

    4.2 Wiring The LSR-803 Series level sensors can be powered by a 24V DC power supply from any standard controller, PLC or DCS. The sensors offer both 1x 4-20mA and 1x RS-485 Modbus outputs. The 24V DC negative (black wire) and 4-20mA- wire are internally connected from the LSR-803 Series sensor therefore it is unnecessary to connect the green to the 4-20 mA negative terminal in the controller.
