Field Wiring

TX/RX Data

The modular terminal block labeled +/−

TX/RX at the rear of the system status panel provides connection

for the data line to the API connection module (or DIN terminal blocks) at the ADVANCE system control
cabinet.

A twisted pair cable (minimum Category 3) should be used for this connection. Observe cable conductor
polarity (+/−) when making connections at the control cabinet: (+ connects to + and − connects to −). No
damage will occur if the polarity is reversed, but the system status panel will not function.

If installing this panel external to the ADVANCE System control cabinet, the maximum cable distance to
the cabinet is 3 km when using No. 24 AWG (Category 3) cable. Refer to Figure 3 for terminal block
location and Table 1 for additional details.
