The transmitter is connected using the two-wire, 
shielded cable. The two leads carry supply voltage, 
a 4-20 mA current signal, and HART
®
communication.
Examples of coupling to loop-powered display and 
PLC/SCADA system are shown in fi g. 22, fi g. 23 and 
fi g. 24, respectively.

OXY 4100/4150/3150 stand alone transmitter
If the cable is extended, the total length of the cable 
must not exceed 1000 m (3000’). Always use two-
wire, shielded cable for the extension (min. 2 x 0.2 
mm
2
(24 AWG)).
A suitable power supply shall be considered 
in the end-use application. The power supply 
must be a Class 2 power source (limited 
circuit) according to the National Electrical 
Code (NEC) and provided double/reinforced 
insulation between mains and the 12-30 V 
d.c. supply for the oxygen transmitter.
Note:
Components like motors, pumps and 
computers may cause high voltage potential 
differences between the protective earth/
ground wire and the water in the tank, that 
results in unstable readings. If this problem 
occurs, mount an earthing electrode in the 
tank to equalise the electrical potential of the 
water to PE. 
If the fl ow velocity in the tank is high, it may 
cause a static potential locally. Is this the 
case, mount the earthing electrode close to 
the transmitter.
