Step 3. Fasten the wires from the transmitters to the screwĆtype
connectors on the terminal board assemblies. Use
shielded twistedĆpair cable, such as Belden 9501 or
equivalent. Maximum field wiring length is dependent
upon the transmitters. Typical transmitter wiring
connections are shown in figure 3.3. Refer to Appendix C
for a listing of the terminal board connections. See
Appendix G for a listing of module faceplate connections.
Be sure that all of the transmitter field wire connections are
tight.
Connect the shields of the shielded twistedĆpair wires to
the screwĆtype connectors on the terminal boards that are
labeled S". All S" terminals are connected to the metal
header labelled SHIELD. A lugged 12 AWG green wire
connected from the metal header to a chassis ground will
shield all of the cables including the cable assembly
attached to the module faceplate. See figure 3.2.
The shields must be connected at one end only. Do not
connect the shields to the transmitters. Cut the drain wire
and remove the foil shielding at the transmitter end.
Insulate the shield conductors at the transmitter end with
heatĆshrink tubing or electrical tape.
Step 4. Take the Current Input module out of its shipping
container. Take it out of its antiĆstatic bag. Be careful not to
touch the connectors on the back of the module.
Step 5. Insert the module into the desired slot in the rack. Use a
screwdriver to secure the module into the slot.
Step 6. Attach the cable between the terminal board assembly
and the module. Be sure that the DĆshell connectors are
oriented properly. Use a screwdriver to secure the DĆshell
connectors to the terminal board assembly and the
module.
Step 7. Turn on power to the system.
Step 8. Connect the programming terminal to the system and run
the ReSource Software.
Stop all programs that may be running.
Configure the current input channels you are using by
following the procedure in section 4.2. You cannot monitor
until you have configured the channels. When you are
done configuring, read the channels' default values to
verify that the installation is correct. Refer to sections 4.1.1
to 4.1.17 for the default values.
