MODBUS OPERATION 
An RS-485 Modbus RTU serial interface allows direct connection to standard PLCs and DCSs.  The 
Transmitter Address Switch (section 3.5) allows the user to select up to 16 different Modbus addresses. 
 Also, an additional 238 Modbus addresses (for a total of 254 different Modbus Addresses) are available 
via menu selection. Figure 3-6 in this manual provides the wiring terminations for Modbus connections. The 
5100-XX-IT provides th
a RS-485 connection. 
ANALOG OPERATION 
The 4-20 mA interface allows direct connection to standard analog controllers or PLCs. The 5100-XX-IT 4-
20 mA connection can be wired as a Type
50.00.01-1975 Standard (see figure 3-5). 
REMOTE ALARM RESET (DIGITAL INPUT) (Figure 3-7) 
An input is available for connection of remote alarm reset/acknowledge. Figure 3-7 provides the wiring 
termination for connecting the remote alarm reset. Th
input can be wired as supervised or non-supervised. 
Note that when the Remote Alarm Reset is
must be present as outlined in 
OPTIONAL INTEGRAL RELAYS 
The optional relays are integral to the transmitter and are rated as SPDT, 250
Alarm and Low Alarm relays and SPDT, 250 VAC, 2 Amp for the Trouble relay.
