For systems using conduit, modules must be wired

using a short piece of suitable flexible conduit to allow

optical alignment of the modules. Conductor insulation

should be stripped off with a bare conductor length

of 0.2 inch (5 mm) minimum and 0.7 inch (18 mm)

maximum). Open Path Eclipse screw terminal torque

range is 3.5–4.4 lb.-in. (0.4–0.5 N·m).

Cable shield, if used, should be properly terminated. If

not terminated, clip the shield wire off short and insulate

it within the detector housing to prevent the shield wire

from accidentally contacting the detector housing or

any other wire.

Figure 8 shows the wiring terminal strip located inside

the detector’s integral junction box.

Figure 9 shows the wiring terminal configuration for

the OPECL transmitter. (The transmitter requires only

operating power.)

Figure 10 shows the wiring terminal configuration for the

OPECL receiver without relays.

Figure 11 shows the wiring terminal configuration for the

OPECL receiver with relays.

Figures 12 through 15 show the 4 to 20 mA output of the

OPECL receiver in various wiring schemes.

Figure 16 shows the wiring terminal configuration for the

EQP OPECL.

The oPeCL housing must be electrically
connected to earth ground. A dedicated earth
ground lug is provided for this purpose.

noTe

For proper HART communication, it is required
that an analog signal loop resistance of 250 to 500
ohms be present at the receiver analog output
terminals. See Figure 17 for benchtop test wiring.
For oPeCL systems using HART communication,
the maximum wiring distance is 2,000 feet.
