Cables for locations without interference

For steel (metal) conduit or open wiring away from any sources of interference, use recommended Honeywell cables listed in the parts list in Section 11.

Shielded wiring for locations with interference

In applications where plastic conduit or open wire trays are used, shielded 6-conductor 22 gage (0.326 mm2) or heavier signal input wiring is required.

Avoiding interference

Instrument wiring is considered Level 1, per section 6.3 of IEEE STD. 518 for plant facilities layout and instrumentation application. Level 1 wiring must not be run close to higher level signals such as power lines or drive signals for phase fired SCR systems, etc. Unprotected input wiring in high electrical noise environments is subject to electromagnetic, electrostatic, and radio frequency interference pickup of sufficient magnitude to overload input filters. The best instrument performance is obtained by keeping the interfering signals out of the instruments altogether by using proper wiring practices.
