NOTICE
Use the correct cable
● If the adapter is mounted directly, use the two-wire cable with a length of 38 cm supplied
with the product.
● If you install the adapter away from the field device, you can use commercially available
installation cable.
● If strong electromagnetic interference can be expected, for example from machines or
wireless devices, we recommend that you use a shielded cable.
● Contact the shield only to the ground connector.
Cabling when the adapter is mounted directly on the field device
If the adapter is installed directly on the field device, follow these steps:
1. Open the housing of the WirelessHART adapter.
2. Insert the cable through the mounting collar.
3. Connect the cable as described in the section "Wiring diagrams" (Page 33) to the
appropriate terminals of the WirelessHART adapter.
4. Wire up the field device according to the operating instructions of your field device.
