4.2 Wiring the Remote
Flowtube
This section describes the wiring of the remote
flowtube only. For information relating to the wiring of
the converter, refer to the user’s manual of the
AXFA11 Magnetic Flowmeter Remote Converter (IM
01E20C01-01E) or the AXFA14 Magnetic Flowmeter
Remote Converter (IM 01E20C02-01E).
WARNING
The wiring of the magnetic flowmeter must be
performed by expert engineer or skilled person-
nel. No operator shall be permitted to perform
procedures relating to wiring.
CAUTION
Once all wiring is complete, check the connec-
tions before applying power to the instrument.
Improper arrangements or wiring may cause a
unit malfunction or damage.
4.2.1
Wiring Precautions
Be sure to observe the following precautions when
wiring:
CAUTION
• In cases where the ambient temperature
exceeds 50°C (122°F), use external heat-
resistant wiring with a maximum allowable
temperature of 70°C (158°F) or above.
• Do not connect cables outdoors in wet weather
in order to prevent damage from condensation
and to protect the insulation, e.g. inside the
terminal box of the flowtube.
• Do not splice the cable between the flowtube
terminal and the converter if it is too short.
Replace the short cable with a cable that is the
appropriate length.
• All the cable ends must be provided with round
crimp-on terminals and be securely wired.
• The signal cables must be routed in separate
steel conduit tubes 16 (JIS C 8305) or flexible
conduit tubes 15 (JIS C 8309).
• Keep conduits or flexible tubes watertight using
sealing tape.
• Ground the remote flowtube and the converter
separately.
• Cover each shield of the signal cable with vinyl
tube or vinyl tape to avoid contact between two
shields or between a shield and a case.
• When waterproof glands or union equipped
waterproof glands are used, avoid tightening
the glands with an excessive torque.
• Be sure to turn the power off before opening
the terminal box cover.
• Before turning the power on, tighten the
terminal box cover securely.
• The terminal box cover is locked by the special
screw. In case of opening the terminal box
cover, use the hexagonal wrench attached. For
handling the locking screw, refer to Figure
4.2.8.
• Be sure to lock the cover by the special screw
using the hexagonal wrench attached after
installing the cover. For handling the locking
screw, refer to Figure 4.2.16.
• Explosion protected types must be wired in
accordance with specific requirement (and, in
certain countries, legal regulations) in order to
preserve the effectiveness of their explosion
protected features.
• When submersible type or optional code DHC
is selected, waterproof glands, signal and
excitation cables are attached.
In order to preserve the effectiveness of
waterproof features, the terminal box cover and
waterproof glands must not be detached from
flowmeter.
IMPORTANT
Prepare the signal cable and the excitation cable
almost the same length. It is recommended to
lay them together closely.
