Output Connections
(DC Current or Voltage)
NOTE:
This transmitter is an ANSI/ISA
Type 4 in which the transmitter’s
power is isolated from the input
and output circuits.
Output connections are polarized. Current is output from and returns
to Output–. Voltage output is positive at .
Variations in load resistance have negligible effect on output accuracy, as long
as load limits are respected with respect to output type.
Note the placement of earth ground. The output cable shield and return should
ideally be grounded closest to the transmitter. Only one end of the connection
should be grounded, never both.
Observe proper polarity. Note that twisted-pair wiring is often used to connect the
longest distance between the field transmitter output and the remote load as shown
above. Additionally, shielded twisted pair wiring is recommended for best results. An
output connection to earth ground will help protect the circuit from damage in noisy
environments.
WARNING:
For compliance to applicable safety and performance standards, the
use of twisted pair output wiring is recommended. Failure to adhere to proper
wiring and grounding practices as instructed may compromise safety,
performance, and possibly damage the transmitter.
TIP – Ripple & Noise
: Additional filtering placed at the load can help reduce
60Hz/120Hz ripple often present in industrial applications. For large 60Hz supply
ripple, connect an external 1uF or larger capacitor directly across the load to reduce
excessive ripple. For sensitive applications with high-speed acquisition at the load,
high frequency noise may be reduced significantly by placing a 0.1uF capacitor
directly across the load, as close to the load as possible.
