5. WIRING
Flameproof metal conduit wiring
• A seal fitting must be installed near the terminal box
connection port for a sealed construction.
• Apply a non-hardening sealant to the threads of the
terminal box connection port, flexible metal conduit
and seal fitting for waterproofing.

After wiring, impregnate the fitting
with a compound to seal tubing.

5.5 Grounding
(a) Grounding should satisfy JIS Class 3 requirements
(grounding resistance, 100
Ω
or less). Grounding is
required for JIS flameproof type and intrinsically
safe type.
(Note) If equipped with built-in Lightning Protector, grounding
should satisfy Special JIS class 3 requirements (grounding
resistance, 10
Ω
or less).
(b) There are ground terminals on the inside and
outside of the terminal box. Either of these termi-
nals may be used.
(c) Use 600 V grade PVC insulated wires for ground-
ing.

5.6 Power Supply Voltage and
Load Resistance
When configuring the loop, make sure that the external
load resistance is within the range in the figure below.
(Note) In case of an intrinsically safe transmitter, external load
resistance includes safety barrier resistance.
