Earth connection. 7.2 Electrical Connection The S461 comes with four M12 connectors, two M8 connectors (for Flow and Energy meter). 7.2.1 M12 Connection Pins The S461 supports the following types of M12 connectors:...
Page 21
Negative 4 ... 20 mA signal (isolated) M12 8-pole assignment The connector “Option” can be a 8-pole X-coded M12. At this point, it is used to provide Modbus/TCP output (P/N: A4607). Regarding how it fits in the RJ-45 connector, see section 7.2.2. S461...
Do not screw the M12 connector using force. Otherwise it might damage the connecting pins. 7.2.2 Ethernet Connection The S461 can be powered by the following ways: • Using the connector Vb/Modbus. • Using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) function, which is integrated into the Ethernet connection on Option Modbus/TCP.
Page 23
When the Modbus/TCP is chosen as the S461 output, a 5 m 8-pole cable is supplied in the delivery package. The cable has the M12 and RJ-45 plugs on the ends. The RJ-45 is used to connect the S461 to a PoE switch.
7 Installation 7.2.3 M8 Connection Pins The S461 can be used as an energy meter. It comes with two M8 connectors: T in and T out, which connect to the inlet temperature sensor and outlet temperature sensor respectively. The temperature sensors (Pt1000) come with 5 m cable and M8 connector.
