Dwyer Instruments TBU-00 Specifications-Installation And Operating Instructions Download Page 2

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

The TBU-00 transmitter is suitable to be installed in instrument enclosures. Vibrations, 

moisture,  extreme  temperatures,  electro-magnetic  interference,  high  voltage,  and 

other interferences can permanently damage the unit, and could cause an error in the 

measured value. 

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Recommended wire size: 26 AWG to 16 AWG (0.14 to 1.5 mm

2

).

Recommended terminal torque: 7.08 in-lbf (0.8 Nm). 

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION

Separate signal lines from facility power lines. The use of grounded conduit is 

recommended.

The instrument must be powered from the instrumentation power supply circuit.

Transient suppression should be used with inductive loads such as contact coils and 

solenoids.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The figures below shows the electrical connections required. Terminals 3, 4, 5 and 

6 are dedicated to the sensor connection. 

LOAD

 represents the 4 to 20 mA current 

measuring device (indicator, controller, recorder, etc.).

Note: 

When using a Pt100Ω 2-wire RTD, terminals 3 and 4 must be interconnected, 

according to Figure 3 below. The Pt100 wire length should be less than 12 in (30 cm) 

to maintain the measurement error within specifications (electrical resistance).
