Series 830/840/860 Instruction Manual

Chapter 2 Installation

 

 

Warning! Follow National Electric Code or your local code safety practices when wir- ing or connecting this unit to a power source. Only qualified personnel should wire the transducer.

Wiring the Transducer

Side-Trak and Auto-Trak transducers require a +15, 0, –15 VDC power supply and a readout device. Additionally, controllers require a set point input (0-5 VDC standard, 4-20 mA optional). Transducers are connected to the power supply, output signal and set point control through either a

20-pin card-edge connector or 15-pin D-connector. Motor-operated ro- tary valves use a 10-pin circular connector. Wiring instructions are given for each type of connector on the following pages. If you are re- placing another manufacturer’s transducer with a Sierra product, see the factory-supplied wiring supplement for instructions specific to your in- stallation.

Recommended Wire Gauges

Using the correct wire gauge for cabling runs to transducers en- hances system reliability. For cable runs over 150 feet (46 m), con- sider using a local power supply.
