Installation Notes
Wires exposed beyond the shield should be as short as possible, not
exceeding 50 mm (2 inches).
The shield termination wire (or drain wire) should be kept as short as
possible, not exceeding 50 mm (2 inches), and where possible the diameter
should be maximized.
Installations with severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) may require
additional shielding precautions. Contact Woodward for more information.
Failure to provide shielding can produce future conditions which are difficult
to diagnose. Proper shielding, when provided, at the time of installation is
required to ensure satisfactory operation of the product.
The maximum size for I/O wiring to the ProAct P-Series FL is 2.0 mm² (14 AWG)
when used with a ferrule.
I/O cabling for the ProAct is limited to 30 m (100 ft) for surge compliance.
Exceptions:
For specifics on power supply and the CAN wiring, see the Supply Power and
CAN Port Specification Summary sections later in this chapter.
Due to the hazardous location listings associated with this product,
proper wire type and wiring practices are critical to operation.
Do not connect any cable grounds to “instrument ground”, “control
ground”, or any non-earth ground system. Make all required
electrical connections based on the wiring diagram (Figure 2-2).
