Installation

Transducer

to transducer

Notes:

•

Transducer cable must be run in a grounded
metal conduit separate from other wiring
(except TS-3 temperature sensor wiring, if
applicable).

•

Hazardous voltage present on transducer
terminals during operation.

Temperature Sensor

to TS-3

Note:
Use TS-3 temperature sensors only. Don't jumper
the terminals if TS-3's are not used.

Relays

All relays are certified for use
in equipment where the short
circuit capacity of the circuits
in which they are connected is
limited by fuses having ratings
not exceeding the rating of the
relays.

Note:

Relays are shown in de-
energized state.

See Specifications for ratings.
