*

Wire colors shown are typical but because there are exceptions, always refer to the color codes shown on the cable label

or “Control Cable Wiring” table on page 11.

** Minimum resistor value is (100 x V

s

) ohms. Higher resistances maybe used depending on frequency and cable length.

Longer cables and high frequencies require lower resistance.

***

Resistor R

L

converts 4-20mA current to voltage for voltage input only devices.
