Emerson F-SERIES SENSOR installation manual Core processor to a 4-wireremote transmitter, Wiring

Wiring

Step 4 Wiring

Improperly sealed housings can expose electronics to moisture, which can cause measurement error or flowmeter failure. Inspect and grease all gaskets and O-rings. Fully close and tighten all housing covers and conduit openings.

Installation options

The sensor has one of the following electronics configurations:

•An integral Model 1700/2700 or IFT9701 transmitter. No wiring is required between the sensor and the transmitter. Skip to Grounding on page 19.

•A core processor to a 4-wire remote transmitter (requires 4-wire cable); see Core processor to a 4-wire remote transmitter, below.

•A core processor to a remote host (requires 4-wire cable); refer to the Micro Motion MVD™ Direct Connect™ Flowmeter Installation Manual.

•A junction box to a 9-wire remote transmitter (requires 9-wire cable); see Junction box to a 9-wire remote transmitter or remote core processor on page 18.

Core processor to a 4-wire remote transmitter

Follow the steps below to connect the 4-wire cable between the core processor and the transmitter.

1.Use one of the following methods to shield the wiring from the core processor to the transmitter:

•If you are installing unshielded wiring in continuous metallic conduit that provides 360° termination shielding for the enclosed wiring, go to page 17 (step 6 of the wiring procedure).

•If you are installing a user-supplied cable gland with shielded cable or armored cable, terminate the shields in the cable gland. Terminate both the armored braid and the shield drain wires in the cable gland. Never connect the drain wires to the internal ground screw of the core processor. Go to page 17 (step 6 of the wiring procedure).

•If you are installing a Micro Motion-supplied cable gland at the core processor housing:

-Prepare the cable and apply shielded heat shrink as described below. The shielded heat shrink provides a shield termination suitable for use in the gland when using cable whose shield consists of foil and not a braid. Proceed to step 2 of the wiring procedure, below.

-With armored cable, where the shield consists of braid, prepare the cable as described below, but do not apply heat shrink. Proceed to step 2 of the wiring procedure, below.

2.Remove the cover from the core processor housing.

3.Slide the gland nut and the clamping insert over the cable.
