J4 Output connector

The J4 Output connector provides the conditioned sensor outputs that can be
connected to a data acquisition or test control system.

Transducer connector

Connect the data cable from the transducer slip ring to the Transducer Connector.

J2A Shunt A

J2B Shunt B

connectors

The J2 connectors are used for the shunt cables. The shunt cables are connected
to the two 6-pin shunt cal connectors on the front of the transducer.

Comm In

Comm In is an 8-pin modular phone jack connector (RJ-45) that provides a
connection to an RS-232/RS-485 remote host, or to another TI in an RS-485
multidrop communications chain. The cable connected to Comm In selects an
RS-232 or RS-485 interface. The RS-232/RS-485 interfaces on Comm In are
electrically isolated from the TI power. This connection is only needed when you
are downloading new settings to the TI module.

Under normal operating conditions, no host connection is required. The Comm
In
and Comm Out connectors allow you to daisy-chain multiple boxes without
Y cables or multiple connections to the host computer.

Comm Out

Comm Out is an 8-pin modular phone jack connector (RJ-45) that provides a
connection to another TI chassis in an RS-485 multidrop communication chain.

J3 Power connector

Connect a power cable from an external 12 V DC source.

Ground Terminals

The ground terminals enable you to ground the TI, and chain several TI boxes
together.
