INSTALLATION

UM344-2

ŸThermocouple wire must be handled with great care when being installed in conduit. Decalibration of the wire can result by cold-working the metal conductor, an effect that can occur when the wire is drawn through a conduit or damaged by rough handling or vibration.

4.4.5.2 Cables

ŸMark or tag each signal cable conductor as either SIGNAL (+) or SIGNAL (-) to ensure correct connection at the Transmitter.

ŸMark or tag each sensor wire to be connected to a remote mounted transmitter to indicate its specific transmitter terminal number (1, 2, 3) connection

EXAMPLE: 3-wire RTD tag descriptors: RTD (+) #1, RTDI #2, RTD (-) #3

Thermocouple tag descriptor: TC (+) #1, TC (-) #3

ŸUse pulling grips and cable lubricants for easier cable pulling. Pull cable through conduit into Transmitter terminal compartment.

ŸDo not exceed the maximum permitted pulling tension on the cables. Maximum tension is normally specified as 40% of the cable's breaking strength.

ŸDo not exceed the maximum conduit fill specified by the National Electric Code.

4.4.5.3 Access to Transmitter Terminal Compartment

Two terminal strips for signal (loop), MXC, test (milliammeter), and sensor connections are located inside the shorter enclosure cap; see Figure 1-1. To access the terminal strips, simply unscrew the enclosure cap protecting the terminal compartment.

This completes the mechanical installation.
