Device Wiring

  • For PLM, Radio telemetry and GSM telemetry, the serial cable connects directly to the mating connector on the device. 

  • For the M4 with serial number 3000 and greater, M2R and MLS ECUs, a mating connector must be wired to the ECU connector to provide a connection point for the serial cable.
