2.4.2 Remote Electronics Wiring (TD2 only)
When using remote electronics, the sensor and electron-
ic circuit board are contained in separate enclosures. A
six conductor shielded cable is required for connection
between the enclosures.
The cable is routed to the electronic circuit board and
connected to the green, 6-position terminal block
(TB4). The cable’s six conductors are connected to ter-
minals 1 through 6. The cable shield should be connect-
ed to the green ground screw in the sensor housing. If
the cable is supplied by Magnetrol, then this connection
is pre-wired at the circuit board. The user only needs to
connect the wiring at the terminal connection on the
sensor enclosure.
The sensor enclosure includes a 6-position terminal
block for connecting a shielded 6-conductor cable. The
cable’s six conductors are connected to terminals 1
through 6 in the sensor enclosure. The cable shield is
connected to the green ground screw. Refer to Figure 8.
NOTE: The six conductors must be wired so that each terminal on
the sensor terminal block TB4 (see Figure 8) is connected
to its corresponding terminal on the electronic circuit board.
Failure to do so will cause improper switch operation.
2.4.3 mA Output Wiring (TD2 only)
The TD2 will output a mA signal which can be used for
diagnostics or to provide trend indication from the
switch. This mA output represents the sensor signal.
The signal cannot be scaled by the user. The output is
proportional to the flow rate. The range of outputs will
vary for each unit due to differences in probes. The
range of the mA output is also dependent upon the
switch setting (section 2.5).
The mA output can also be used for fault detection. In
the event of a fault, the mA output will be greater than
22 mA if HLFS is selected or less than 3.6 mA if LLFS
is selected.
The mA output is isolated from the input power.
Wiring of the mA output is shown in Figure 7 on page 3.
Wiring should be 16 to 26 AWG.
NOTE: Due to ATEX Zone 0 requirements, the mA output is not
available on the TD2-XD0X-XCX.
