Sensors operate at low voltage and are isolated from the

supply. Be sure that sensor cables remain isolated from all high

voltage sources. In particular, do not route the sensor cables

through the same electrical knockout as other cables. Do not

connect the shield from the sensor cable to a terminal or a

ground.

Extending a sensor: Each sensor can be extended up to 500 feet (150

meters). To extend a sensor:

Use a shielded cable of outside diameter between 0.245 and

0.260 in (6.22 and 6.60 mm) (the cable dimensions should not

be under 18 AWG) to ensure the cable entry is liquid tight. Do

not ground the shielding.

It is preferable to solder the cable joint to ensure a proper

contact between the two cables.

CAUTION: Do not run sensor cables next to other power cables. When

crossing over other cables, cross at 90°.

Defective temperature sensors: An alarm is generated when a defective
sensor is detected. The defective temperature sensors are identified in
the "15. Alarm Log" menu. Press the

key to directly access this

menu.

There are two types of alarms on the market. One type activates when

current is cut off at its input, whereas the other activates when current

is supplied at its input. For an alarm of the first type, use the NC
