4.7 Connection diagram of rail-mount transmitter (intrinsically safe)

4.8 Cable length

In order to ensure reliable HART

®

communication, the maximum cable length of the output

circuit must be observed.

To calculate the maximum cable length for the output circuit, determine the total resistance of
the output loop (load resistance + approximate cable resistance). Find out the capacitance of the
cable being used. In the following tables you can find the maximum cable length based on the
typical values for 1 mm

2

cables. CN is the abbreviation for "Capacitance Number" which is

multiple of 5000 pF present in the device.

1 Input (intrinsically safe)
2 Classified hazardous area (potentially explosive area e.g. zone 0, 1 or 2)
3 Classified hazardous area (potentially explosive area e.g. zone 1 or 2)
4 Safe area
5 Modem / Ex (intrinsically safe)

7 Voltage supply 10…30 VDC (intrinsically safe - terminals 21, 22)

DANGER!
In the Ex version, please note that the maximum cable length is determined by a resistance, an
inductance and a capacitance of the cable. The total capacitance and inductance of the cable
must be within the limits for the transmitter described in the Ex certificate.
