WIRING—

The  PIRVOL  has  five  22  AWG  wires,  20  inches  (50 
cm) long.
 

Red   =  + 24 volts dc

 

Black   =  – (common) 

 

White   =  4 to 20 milliampere signal output

 

Yellow  =  Calibration input

 

Green  =  Chassis ground 

Power Wiring: 18 AWG minimum is recommended for 
power wiring.  Larger diameter wire may be required 
to maintain a minimum of 18 vdc (including ripple) at 
the sensor for all operating conditions (see Figure 2).  
For  maximum  EMI/RFI  protection,  shielded  cable  is 
recommended.

TEMPERATURE RANGE—

Operating:  –40°F to +167°F (–40°C to +75°C).
Storage: 

-40°F to +185°F (–40°C to +85°C).

HUMIDITy (non-condensing)—

0 to 99% relative humidity (Det-Tronics verified) 
5 to 95% relative humidity (CSA verified).

RFI/EMI PROTECTION—

EN50081-1.  Class B, EN50082-1 (IEC 801-2, 3, 4).
Operates properly with 5 watt walkie talkie keyed at 1 
meter.

ENCLOSURE MATERIALS—

Copper-free aluminum (clear anodized) enclosure.
Stainless Steel (316 electropolished) enclosure.

SAMPLE DRAW CUP—

Material: 

Aluminum.

Fittings: 

Brass.

Tubing Size:  1/4 inch O.D.

MOUNTING—

Det-Tronics junction box, available in a tall cover (with 
window)  or  a  short  cover  version,  is  recommended 
for  optimum  ease  of  installation.    PIRVOL  can  be 
threaded  into  any  approved  junction  box  suitable  for 
the specific application.  Junction box thread options:

• 3/4 inch NPT 
• M20.
