Figure 12. Connecting the wires at the core processor
7. Reattach the core processor cover.
8. For wiring at the transmitter, see the transmitter Quick Reference 
Guide.
9. If connecting to a direct host, you must connect the VDC wires from 
the core processor to a power supply, and you must connect the 
RS-485 wires to the RS-485 terminals on the host. 
• If you are connecting to an I.S. barrier supplied by Micro Motion 
(MVD Direct Connect installations), the barrier supplies power to 
the core processor. 
a. Connect all 4 wires of the 4-wire cable from the core 
processor to the barrier. Refer to the barrier documentation to 
identify the terminals at the barrier. 
b. Ensure that there is no electromagnetic interference coupled 
onto the 4 wires between the core processor and the barrier.

• For connections to earth ground when core processor cannot be grounded 
via sensor piping and local codes require ground connections to be made 
internally
• Do not connect shield drain wires to this terminal
