3.3.2 Supply Power Connections
The COPA-XT flowmeter is designed as a 2-Wire system, i.e.
the supply power and measurement output signal (4-20 mA
w/wo HART-Protocol) are transmitted over the same set of
leads.
a) Supply Power from a Central Voltage Source

(e.g. indicator, recorder, cable resistance, .)
R =
Max. allow. load for output circuit – a function of the
voltage supply instrument (e.g. indicator, recorder, etc.)
b) Supply Power from Power Supply Instrument
Care should be exercised when reinstalling the housing cover
to be certain that the gaskets are properly seated. Only then is
Protection Class IP 67 assured.
Note:
During installation it is important to provide a water trap in
the cable to the flowmeter primary (Fig. 22).
