GASBOY can supply Belden 1063A (P/N C09655) which is a UL-Listed, 4-conductor cable
that meets the requirements listed above. NOTE: Belden 1063A is UL-Listed but not CSA
listed.
Cable with a voltage rating of less than 600V must be installed in a conduit separate from all
AC wires.
3.
Conduit: When using the recommended shielded, twisted-pair cable described above, the
cable can be run with AC wires in metal conduit. The shield drain wire must be connected to
the system AC ground. Only AC wires for the system and pumps can be installed in the AC
conduit. Do not run the cable outdoors without the use of metal conduit. Do not run this
cable overhead, outdoors.
The cable can be run indoors without the use of metal conduit. The shield drain wire must be
connected to the system AC ground.
If using cable other than that recommended above, the RS-485 field wires must be installed
in a metal conduit separate from any AC wires.
4.
Distance: The following distances must be adhered to when installing the RS-485 field
wiring.
●
Wiring over 100 feet must meet the specifications outlined in Cable above.
●
The distance from the FPR to the FMS is limited to 1000 feet.
5.
Connections: See the Wiring Diagrams later in this section for proper connection of the
RS-485 field wiring to the FMS components.
N-RING WIRING REQUIREMENTS
N-Ring wiring between the FPR and the pump must be 18 AWG, gas- and oil-resistant wire.
Heavier gauge wire will not fit into the connectors on the I/S or Pre-Amp PC boards. To preserve
intrinsic safety, N-Ring wiring must be in separate conduit from AC and DC, RS-485, or pulser
wiring.
