RS-485 Serial Connections
The meter may include an optional RS-485 two-wire serial connection. The cabling
used for an RS-485 serial communications network should always be a high quality
cable such as Belden 8162 or Alpha 6203C. A two-wire system requires two twisted
pairs, and a four-wire system requires three twisted pairs (the extra twisted pair is
needed for the signal ground).
