Plug sets are offered to make your own cables in customized lengths. The set
contains one plug with pins (male) and one with sockets (female), see Overview of
Ordering Information, p. 50.
Before making the cable, please observe the following general guidelines:
A 5 wire cable, shielded twisted pair, is required for the remote bus and can be
ordered by the meter (KAB-3225-LI).
The maximum length of the remote bus is 12.8 km. The distance between two
remote bus nodes must be no more than 400m.
The plugs for the outgoing remote bus always have pins, while those for the
incoming remote bus always have sockets.
In the plug for the outgoing remote bus the connections 5 and 9 must always be
bridged, see Wiring diagram.
The cable shield must be connected to the plug housing with a large surface area.
