65-2610RK-04 M2 Transmitter Operator’s Manual 38
Termination Jumper
The M2 includes a 2-pin termination header (see Figure 2) that is used when the M2 is
used in a Modbus system. Every M2 is supplied with a termination jumper (a jumper
block) installed onto this header. If the M2 is not used in a Modbus system, this jumper
has no function. When the M2 is installed in a Modbus system, this jumper must be
installed in an M2 that is at the end of a Modbus line. Any M2 in a Modbus system that is
not at the end of a line must have the termination jumper removed (see Figure 10 &
Figure 11 below).
