electrical Wiring

Figure 1 shows how to connect the MS2 in a network containing a common power
supply. Use a cable containing two twisted pairs. One pair is to be used for B(+)
and A(-). The other pair is to be used for power and common. This configuration is
not suitable for AC supplies. Use a DC supply only. Care should be taken that there
are not too many devices powered from the same supply as voltage drops will
occur in the wiring. If you have many devices, or have long cable runs, the local
supply configuration may be a better choice.

Figure 2 shows how to connect the MS2 in a network containing individual local
supplies. Use a cable containing a twisted pair and a single conductor. The pair is
to be used for B(+) and A(-). The single conductor is to be used for common. Both
AC and DC supplies are suitable for this configuration.

In either configuration you must use shielded cable. The MS2 has a shield terminal
for a convenient location to make connections. It is not electrically connected to the
MS2. Connect the shield to earth ground at one location only to prevent ground
loops.

All devices in the network should be daisy chained. Star connections and T
connections are not permitted.

The B(+) and A(-) lines must be terminated at both ends with a 120 ohm resistor.
If the MS2 is an end device it has an on-board resistor that may be used. See DIP
SWITCH SETTINGS to enable it.

The network must be biased properly. If needed, there are bias resistors on-board
the MS2. No more than two sets of bias resistors should be enabled in the network.
See DIP SWITCH SETTINGS to enable them.

Dip Switch Configurations

Use the left DIP Switch SW1 to configure the BACnet MS/TP MAC communication
protocol address of the device. The LCD will show the address when the
transmitter is powered on. Valid addresses range from 1 to 127. By default, the
device is shipped with the address 127 (as shown in Figure 3). A valid and unused
address should be set before connecting to an existing network. However, the
address can be changed while the device is operational. If the address is changed,
the device will stop responding to the currently configured address immediately.
The device waits 15 seconds after the last switch change before applying the new
address. The device will not function properly if an invalid address is set. The red
LED will periodically blink once indicating an invalid address. The LCD will display
“A Err” when the transmitter is powered on if the address is invalid. See Appendix
I for setting the BACnet MS/TP MAC address of the device.

Use the right DIP Switch SW2 to configure other hardware and software options.

When using the on-board buttons, there is a 5 second delay
from the time the zero or span calibration button is released until

the time that the change in calibration takes place. This delay is used to prevent
stress related offsets on the lower ranges.

NOTICe

The security level that is set in the Programming Menu Section
of the manual will determine which calibrations, if any, may be

adjusted by the user through the on-board buttons, but the calibration can be
changed at any time through the communications.
