(2) Flameproof Type
Wire cables through a flameproof packing adapter, or
using a flameproof metal conduit.
Wiring cable through flameproof packing adapter.
• Apply a nonhardening sealant to the terminal box
connection port and to the threads on the flameproof
packing adapter for waterproofing.

• A seal fitting must be installed near the terminal box
connection port for a sealed construction.
• Apply a non-hardening sealant to the threads of the
terminal box connection port, flexible metal conduit
and seal fitting for waterproofing.

6.5 Grounding
Grounding is always required for the proper operation
of transmitters. Follow the domestic electrical require-
ments as regulated in each country. For a transmitter
with built-in lightning protector, grounding should
satisfy ground resistance of 10
or less.
Ground terminals are located on the inside and outside
of the terminal box. Either of these terminals may be
used.

6.6 Power Supply Voltage and
Load Resistance
When configuring the loop, make sure that the external
load resistance is within the range in the figure below.
(Note) In case of an intrinsically safe transmitter, external load
resistance includes safety barrier resistance.
