9.2: Installing Nexus External I/O Modules

I/O modules must use the Nexus 1250/1252 Meter’s Port 3 or 4. Six feet of RS-485 cable harness is supplied. Attach one end of the cable to the port (connectors may not be supplied); insert the other end into the communication pins of the module’s Male RS-485 Side Port. Follow steps below and see Figure 9.2 below. See section 9.3 for details on using multiple I/O modules.
