Wiring Communication

After wiring the sensor cable into the PROTECTED side of the Click 200 in the pole

mount cabinet, two isolated serial connections are available. The sensor’s native RS-232

port is available via the DB-9 connector on the faceplate.

In addition, the sensor’s native RS-485 connection is available in the pole mount cabinet

via the following three ports on the Click 200:

˽

Screw terminals on the bottom

˽

RJ-11 connector on the faceplate

˽

T-bus backplane

Note

The Click 200 does not convert RS-232 communication to RS-485. It simply provides
surge protection for these two independent connections.

One common way to connect communications back to a main cabinet is to use a Smart-

Sensor cable as your homerun cable. See Appendix C for information about maximum

cable lengths for wired communication. Wavetronix Click products facilitate a wide variety

of additional wired and wireless communication options. Contact a Wavetronix-authorized

technical representative to find out which options are best suited for your application.

ules, it is often easiest to connect from the RJ-11 port. In some cases, several contact closure

cards can be daisy-chained together. However, the chain should not be connected until each
