*
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.
