The dual RS-485 module also provides an SDI-12 connection. The SDI-
12 line uses one wire for data and is limited to a maximum length of 60
meters. Figure 178 on page 343 provides a schematic wiring diagram
for the SDI-12 connection and the 12 VDC power supply for a sensor.
The jumper settings should be as shown in Figure 176 on page 342.
Simultaneously with the SDI-12, you can connect channels A and B in
the 2-wire RS-485 mode. If you take all three channels in use, you either
need three free connectors in the flange or an optional junction box.
