Note: All objects are two (2) registers in length unless specified otherwise.
The primary and secondary codes are mapped to the high and low bytes, respectively, of registers 404609 (120016) and 406145 (180016).
The primary status codes are shown in Table 10. The secondary status codes are shown in Table 11. The cause-of-status codes are mapped
to registers 404610 (120116) and 406146 (180116). The cause-of-status codes are shown in Table 12. The primary/secondary and cause-of-status
must be read as a single two (2) register object. Notes

These numeric entries have specific definitions dependent on the the particular Eaton product.
1. The Series NRX Communication Module is a separate device that snaps into the DIN Rail starting at location 19 through 26. (Removal of the four con-
tact blocks is required.)
2. The Trip Unit AUX Voltage is 24VDC 10% and should be sourced from a reliable service.
3. Ground the shield at the master device, and refer to Section 3 on page 4.
4. Set the jumper on the module to enable or disable the communications control as desired.
5. When the Communications Module is employed and Source Ground or Zero Sequence Ground Sensing method is required, the Ground Fault function
is enabled by this jumper.
6. Connectors are UL/CSA rated 300V, VDE rated 250V. Recommended: Weidmuller (BL 3.5/90/5BK) Orientation: 90 lead exit, but other lead orientations
are possible. Wire guage: # 18 AWG/0.82mm.
7. The final device in the daisy-chain configuration must have a 121 ! termination resistor installed across terminals #1 and #2 on TB #2.
