ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION Step Seven
Wire Length ‐ The maximum length of wire connecting the transmitter and receiver is a function of wire size and
receiver resistance. Wiring should not contribute more than 10% of the receiver resistance to total loop resistance.
For extremely long runs (over 1000 feet), choose receivers with higher resistance to minimize the size and cost of
connecting leads. Where wiring length is less than 100 feet, wire as small as 22 AWG can be used.
Wiring ‐ An external power supply delivering 13‐30 VDC for the LD31 and LD32 series with minimum current
capability of 40 mA DC (per transmitter) is required to power the control loop. See Fig. A for connection of the
power supply, transmitter and receiver. The range of appropriate receiver load resistance (RL) for the DC
power supply voltage available is expressed by the formula:
RLmax = (Vsup – 10V) / 20 mA DC
 Shielded cable is recommended for control loop wiring.
 Use the Red wire as the (+) and the Black wire as the (‐).
