Connecting the sensor cables
Terminal assignment of the sensor terminals (® е 5, д 13).
NOTICE
When connecting 2 sensors, ensure that there is no galvanic connection between the
sensors (e.g. caused by sensor elements that are not isolated from the thermowell). The
resulting equalizing currents distort the measurement considerably.
►
The sensors must remain galvanically isolated from one another by connecting each sensor
separately to a transmitter. The transmitter provides sufficient galvanic isolation (> 2 kV AC)
between the input and output.
The following connection combinations are possible when both sensor inputs are assigned:
Sensor input 1

Connecting the power supply and signal cables
!
CAUTION
►
Switch off power supply before installing or connecting the head transmitter. Failure to
observe this may result in destruction of parts of the electronics.
Cable specification
• A normal device cable suffices if only the analog signal is used.
• A shielded cable is recommended for HART
®
communication. Take the plant grounding
concept into consideration.
