3-Wire 4-20mA Mode Installation
CAUTION
: SenSmart 3000
’s equipped with the 10-0233 I/O Power Supply board only operate as
3 or 4-wire 4-20mA transmitters and are not compatible with 2-wire intrinsically safe installations
(see sections 2.7 and 2.7a). Such units should not be combined with 10-0247IS Sensor Heads
without flame arrestors unless the area is classified as non-hazardous.
SenSmart 3000
’s equipped with the 10-0233 I/O Power Supply and 10-0234 Alarms / Modbus
option are NRTL certified as suitable for Div 1 & 2 Groups B,C,D explosion proof installations with
the 10-0247 or with any sensor head with an equivalent CSA certification.
Description:
3-wire sourcing transmitters require an additional dedicated 24 VDC wire. The 4-20mA loop
current is then delivered, or sourced, from the transmitter output and the receiver device must not
provide 24 VDC from its input terminal. When the SenSmart 3000 is equipped with the bottom
10-0233 I/O Power Supply board shown in Figure 2-5, the 2-wire 4-20mA output is disabled and
one of the 10-
0233’s 3-wire outputs must be used. TB2 terminal 2 is for ECHEM toxic / oxygen 3-
wire 4-20mA output signals and TB2 terminal 3 is for LEL 3-wire 4-20mA output signals.
Instructions:
Unscrew the cover on the SenSmart 3000 explosion-proof enclosure. Loosen the 2 thumbscrews
holding the display assembly in place and remove it. A small ribbon cable is attached with
sufficient length to allow access to the I/O PCB mounted in the bottom of the enclosure (Figure 2-
5). Power and signal connections are to TB2 where 24 VDC, Signal and Common wires must be
connected. A blocking diode protects the SenSmart 3000 if polarity of the power supply is
reversed but it will not operate. Reassemble the SenSmart 3000. Follow the procedures and
recommendations in the receiver and power supply manuals to complete the installation. Be sure
the SenSmart 3000 enclosure and conduit are properly grounded. Apply power and the
SenSmart 3000 should function. Proceed to section-3.
