predetermined resistive load(60.4k). This technique can be used as a 
means of verifying instrumentation by simulating a physical 
input. With no load connected, the enabling of the shunt resistor 
(switch 5) will simulate approximately a 70% F.S. load in the case of a 
350Ω Strain Bridge.

Modbus RTU Serial Communications
Serial communications connection is made to an RJ45 connector 
labeled M-LINK on Figure 7. Use the PDA1232 for RS-232 interfacing, 
the PDA8008 for USB interfacing, or the PDA1485 for RS-485 
interfacing. The same port is used for interfacing with all expansion 
modules (e.g. external relays, digital I/O). 
Use the PDA1200 meter copy cable for meter-to-meter interfacing for 
cloning purposes (i.e. copying settings from one meter to other meters). 
Relay Connections
Relay connections are made to two six-terminal connectors labeled 
RELAY1 – RELAY4 on Figure 7. Each relay’s C terminal is common 
only to the normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts of the 
corresponding relay. The relays’ C terminals should not be confused 
with the COM (common) terminal of the INPUT SIGNAL connector.
