    4 Installation 4.1 Wiring The LSR-801 Series level sensors should 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-801 Series sensor therefor it is unnecessary to connect the green to the 4-20 mA negative terminal in the controller.
