Accessories

Connects an Aqua TROLL directly to a controller or logger for communication via:

• Analog (4-20 mA)

• RS485 Modbus

• SDI-12

• RS232 Modbus (with a customer-supplied converter)

Twist-Lock connector mates with probe body. Stripped & tinned wires on opposite end
for wiring to PLC or logger. Vented cable includes removable outboard desiccant to
protect cable vent tube from condensation in high-humidity environments.

CONNECTIONS
Refer to wiring diagrams on back of sheet. Trim back and insulate unused wires. The
shield should be wired to a chassis ground or earth ground.

Power Connections. The Red wire provides power for all Aqua TROLL modes. The 4-
20 mA current loop output can be continuous in Modbus or SDI-12 mode as long as
Modbus device register 49507 is set to 1.

Communications. The device automatically switches between Modbus and SDI-12
modes depending on which of the two interfaces has activity. Modbus and SDI-12
cannot be used at the same time — whichever one is currently in use will block commu-
nication on the other.

®

5 software through a serial COM

port: Cable can be wired to a port-powered RS485-RS232 converter* for temporary
connection to a serial port on a PC.

TIP: The desiccant may be removed
from the vent tube, if needed, for
better access to the conductor wires.

Pull the vent tube extender off the cable vent
tube to remove. After connecting and trimming
wires, attach desiccant vent tube to cable vent
tube and secure desiccant to cable with hook-
and-loop strap, as shown in the photo above.
