Quick Installation and Start-Up
Cable preparation
When preparing all wire connections, remove only the insulation required to fit the wire
completely under the terminal connection. Prepare the ends of the coil drive and electrode
cables as shown in Figure 2-19. Limit the unshielded wire length to less than 1 inch on both the
coil drive and electrode cables. Any length of unsheathed conductor should be insulated.
Excessive removal of insulation may result in an unwanted electrical short to the transmitter
housing or other wire connections. Excessive unshielded lead length, or failure to connect cable
shields properly, may expose the unit to electrical noise, resulting in an unstable meter reading.

Shock Hazard
Potential shock hazard across remote junction box terminals 1 & 2 (40V).
Explosion Hazard
Electrodes exposed to process. Use only compatible transmitter and approved installation
practices.
For process temperatures greater than 284 °F (140 °C), use a wire rated for 257 °F (125 °C).
