NOTE: The Detcon Warranty does not cover water damage resulting from water leaking into
the enclosure. Since the electronics are 100% epoxy encapsulated, only the wire terminations
can get wet. This could cause abnormal operation and possibly cause corrosion to the terminal
connections. However, it would not be expected to cause permanent damage to the sensor.

supplies one ¾” NPT male plug with their accessory J-box enclosures. If connections are other
than ¾” NPT, use an appropriate male plug of like construction material.
2.6 Field Wiring
Detcon Model PI-700 toxic gas sensors assemblies require three conductor connections between power
supplies and host electronic controller’s 4-20mA output, and two conductor connections for the Modbus™ RS-
485 serial interface. Wiring designations are + (DC), – (DC), mA (sensor signal), and Modbus™ RS-485 A
(+), and B (-). Maximum wire length between sensor and 24VDC source is shown in the Table 1 below.
Maximum wire size for termination in the Detcon J-Box accessory is 14 gauge.
