Connecting analog sensors
Connect the analog sensor by a supplied RJ-11 (6P4C) cable to any analog port "A1 .. A8" or "Sensor" port. The determination of the sensor type and connection will occur automatically.
If strong electromagnetic interference is present, we recommend using a 3-pair cable CAN FTP for sensor connection!

1- Orange, 2- White Blue, 3- Blue, 4 - White Orange
Colors are true for this telephone cable. Both ends match the colors and pinouts (identical).
Please refer to the RJ connectors comparison table:

Extending the number of analog sensors
Using CAN extension "VT408 / Sensor extension unit" it is possible to increase the number of analog sensors connected to the monitoring unit up to 80 sensors.
Chain connection of analog sensors
This procedure applies to the following sensors, which are supported by the appliance and are connected to the analog ports:

VT530 and VT560 are the only analog sensors that allow non-addressable chain connection. All the sensors in one chain are seen by the system as one sensor. One chain can have up to 10 sensors. Example of such connection:
