fieldbus
Powered over F
OUNDATION
fieldbus with standard fieldbus power supplies, the transmitter
operates between 9.0 and 32.0 Vdc, 11 mA maximum. Transmitter power terminals are rated to
42.4 Vdc.
The power terminals on the 3144P with F
OUNDATION
fieldbus are polarity insensitive.
2.6.1
Surges/transients
The transmitter will withstand electrical transients of the energy level usually encountered in
static discharges or induced switching; however, high-voltage transients, such as those induced
in wiring from nearby lightning strikes, can damage both the transmitter and the sensor.
The integral transient protection terminal block (option code T1) protects against high-voltage
transients. The integral transient protection terminal block is available as an ordered option, or
as an accessory. Refer to
“Transient protection (option code T1)” on page 198
for more
information.
2.6.2
Grounding
Sensor shielding
The currents in the leads induced by electromagnetic interference can be reduced by shielding.
Shielding carries the current to ground and away from the leads and electronics. If the ends of
the shields are adequately grounded, only a small amount of current will actually enter the
transmitter.
If the ends of the shield are left ungrounded, voltage is created between the shield and the
transmitter housing and also between the shield and earth at the element end. The transmitter
may not be able to compensate for this voltage, causing it to lose communication and/or go into
alarm. Instead of the shield carrying the currents away from the transmitter, the currents will
now flow through the sensor leads into the transmitter circuitry where it will interfere with the
circuit operation.
