Designation of wires, cutting & stripping the cable
The factory delivered cable has the wires marked with
the numbers 1 - 2 - 3 as to the table to the right. If the
cable needs to be cutted and stripped, the shield should
be connected as the no. 3 wire.
Do NOT connect any of the colored programming wires
as it may damage the transmitter. The programming
wires should be cut off in different lengths to prevent
them from short circuit.
Take care not to block or squeeze the air pressure
compensation tube

Designations:
1:
Positive (+) wire, red
2:
Negative (-) wire, brown
3:

Do not connect a programming unit to the transmitter
or make any attemt to program the tranmitter while the
transmitter is located in an explosion hazardous zone!
Electrical mounting
Cable length vs. supply voltage
The cable can be lengthened with any type of cable
using connection box 202922. Although the measuring
signal is not sensitive to electrical noise, we recommend
the use of a screened cable.
Ensure that no moisture can enter the pressure compen-
sation tube inside the cable.
The length of the cable is only limited by the total resist-
ance (A) of the cable cond the input impedance
of the analog input on the MJK 704, MJK 713, PLC etc.
(typically 10 to 100
Ω
) and the available supply voltage
(B) (typically 24 V DC).
Example:
The nominal resistance for 1 conductor in a transmitter
cable is 0,036
Ω
/m. A standard 12 m cable will therefore
add 2 x 0,036 x 12 = 0,86
Ω
to the loop resistance. If the
analog input has an impedance of 50
Ω
., the total
resistance will be approx. 51
Ω
.
(B)
Supply voltage [V DC]
Necessary supply voltage in relation to the total loop resistance.

Total loop resistance [

According to the diagram above, approx. 12 V DC will
be sufficient.
