NOTE: Distances listed should be used as guide only and cannot be guaranteed for non-
PowerLogic devices. Above distances subject to vary based on the quality of the cable.
Daisy-chaining Devices to the Power Meter
RS 485 slave port allows the power meter to be connected in a daisy chain
with up to 31 2-wire devices. In this bulletin, communications link refers to a
chain of devices that are connected by a communications cable. See Figure
6-3.
