INSTALLATION UM344-2
September 1995
Ÿ Thermocouple 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
Ÿ Mark or tag each signal cable conductor as either SIGNAL (+) or SIGNAL (-) to ensure correct
connection at the Transmitter.
Ÿ Mark 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
Ÿ Use pulling grips and cable lubricants for easier cable pulling. Pull cable through conduit into
Transmitter terminal compartment.
Ÿ Do not exceed the maximum permitted pulling tension on the cables. Maximum tension is normally
specified as 40% of the cable's breaking strength.
Ÿ Do 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.
