2.3.3 TMO2-TC Transmitter
Connecting the TMO2-TC thermal conductivity transmitter to the TMO2D requires use of the X3(*) or Y3(*) cables.
The X3(*) cable can be used for distances up to 450 ft (130 m). For longer distances, each cable can be supplied as
18-AWG that can be located up to 1,050 ft (320 m). If you are using your own cable, refer to Table 5 below for cable
requirements.
For longer cable lengths, consult the factory.
2.3.3a Wiring:
Use the following steps to interconnect the TMO2-TC to the TMO2D.
1. Route the cable into the TMO2-TC transmitter through one of the 3/4" conduit holes on the side of the transmitter.
WARNING! Be sure to plug the unused conduit/cable entry hole on the transmitter, in order to meet
specifications and to maintain the appropriate weatherproof or explosion-proof rating.
2. Unplug TB1 on the TMO2-TC transmitter PC board (PCB) by carefully pulling it directly up without bending the
pins attached to the PCB. See Figure 6 on page 11.
3. Loosen the TB1 side screws and insert the colored wires into the corresponding openings on top of TB1. Refer to
Table 6 below for color-coded pin designations.
WARNING! Make sure that the +24 VDC wire (red) is connected to terminal TB1-1. Conn24 VDC to
any other terminal could cause bodily harm. It could also cause damage to the TMO2-TC PCB,
requiring factory repair.
