7  Transmitter wiring
 WARNING - GENERAL RISK   
Observe the applicable regulations governing electrical 
installation. Connections must only be established in a 
dead-voltage state. Since the transmitter has no switch-off 
elements, overvoltage protection devices, lightning 
protection, and voltage separation capacity must be 
provided at the plant (overvoltage/lightning protection is 
optional). Check that the existing operating voltage 
corresponds to the voltage indicated on the name plate. The 
same lines are used for both the power supply and output 
signal. In case the surge protection option is present and 
the transmitter is installed in a Hazardous area, the 
transmitter has to be power supplied from a voltage source 
isolated from mains (galvanic separation). Furthermore the 
potential equalization for the entire powering cable must be 
guaranteed since the intrinsic safety circuit of the 
transmitter is grounded.
 WARNING - GENERAL RISK   
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury. Avoid 
contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may 
be present on leads can cause electrical shock.
 WARNING - GENERAL RISK   
Do NOT make electrical connections unless the electrical 
code designation stamped on the transmitter data plate 
agrees with the classification of the area in which the 
transmitter is to be installed. Failure to comply with this 
warning can result in fire or explosion.
Cable connection
Depending on the design supplied, the electrical connection is 
established via a cable entry, M20 x 1.5 or 1/2-14 NPT thread, or 
Han 8D plug (8U) (PROFIBUS PA and FOUNDATION Fieldbus: M12 
x 1 or 7/8 plug). The screw terminals are suitable for wire cross 
sections of up to 2.5 mm2 (AWG 14).
IMPORTANT 
With Category 3 transmitters for use in “Zone 2”, a qualified 
cable gland for this type of protection must be installed by 
the customer (see the section “Hazardous Area Consideration”). 
An M20 x 1.5 threads is located in the electronics housing 
for this purpose.
For transmitters with “Flameproof enclosure” (Ex d) type of 
protection, the housing cover must be secured using the 
locking screw.
FOUNDATION Fieldbus wiring 
The 2600T-266 PdP FF is a Bus Powered device with Fieldbus 
Foundation output. The two wires of the bus have to be 
connected as in the picture.
IMPORTANT 
The 266 PdP FF is not Polarity Sensitive.
