11266HSH MODBUS TRANSMITTER |  PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE MULTIVARIABLE  |  OI/266HSHMT-EN REV. A
6 Setup
6.1 Temperature measurement 
— Mount the temperature sensor in the downstream pipe 
of the primary element. 
— Consider the downstream straight pipe requirements. 
— If there is a significant difference between the 
     temperature of the measuring medium and the 
     ambient temperature, the measuring error caused by 
     heat conduction must be minimized by insulating the
     installation location accordingly.
— Use class “A” sensors to maximize accuracy.
6.2 General information 
The relevant directives must be complied with for the 
electrical installation! Because the transmitter cannot be 
switched off, surge protection devices, lightning 
protection, or grid disconnect possibilities must be 
provided at the plant. 
Check that the existing supply voltage corresponds to that 
indicated on the rating plate. The same lines are used for 
both the power supply and the output signal. 
If an optional surge protector is provided and if the 
transmitter is used in a hazardous area, energy must only 
be supplied via a voltage source with electrical isolation 
from the grid. Because the inherently safe power circuits of 
the transmitter are grounded, a sufficient equipotential 
bonding must be ensured for the entire supply line. 
8.6.3 Installing the connecting cables 
Ensure that a drip loop (water trap) is used when installing 
the connecting cables for the sensor. 
If necessary, rotate the transmitter housing accordingly..
NOTICE
If cable glands are not used, the red transport screw 
plugs must be replaced with suitable screw plugs when 
the transmitter is installed. This is because the transport 
screw plugs are not certified as protected against 
explosion. This requirement is particularly relevant in 
hazardous areas 
Cable entries with an M20 x 1.5 thread 
Devices with an M20 x 1.5 thread are optional supplied 
with factory-installed cable glands and sealing plugs. 
Cable entries with a 1/2” NPT thread 
The supplied transport sealing plugs do not have IP 
rating 4X / IP67 and are not approved for use in 
potentially explosive atmospheres. 
The transport sealing plugs must be replaced with 
suitable cable glands or sealing plugs during device 
installation. When selecting the cable glands or sealing 
plugs, make sure they have the required IP rating and 
explosion protection! 
To offer IP rating 4X / IP67, the cable glands / sealing 
plugs must be screwed in using a suitable sealing 
compound. 
Cable entry for PT100 temperature sensor 
A metal cable gland should always be used for the Pt100 
cable since a shielded cable is used. 
Connect the shielding within the metal cable gland! 
To offer IP rating 4X / IP67, the cable glands / sealing 
plugs must be screwed in using a suitable sealing 
compound. 
Safety instructions for use in Division 1 
Conduit requirements for Div. 1 installations are not 
addressed in this procedure. To avoid creating a 
hazardous situation, ensure compliance with the 
applicable standards, regulations, and recommendations 
for installation in the country of use. Resistance

6.4 Supply requirement
For signal/power connection use twisted, stranded pairs 
of wiring no 18 to 22 AWG / 0.8 to 0.35mm2 ø up to 5,000 
feet (1500 meters). Longer loops require larger wire. 
If a shielded wire is used, the shield should be grounded 
only at one end, not both ends. In case of wiring at 
transmitter end, use the terminal located inside the 
housing marked with the appropriate sign. 
For Ex ia and other intrinsically safe approval power supply 
must not exceed 30 V DC. 
Minimum operating voltage increase to 12.3 V DC with 
optional surge protector or to 10.8 V DC with optional 
conformity to NAMUR NE 21 (2004).
For maximum power supply voltage please refer to the top 
identification plate of the transmitter.
The actual possible line length of the electrical circuit 
depends on the total capacitance and resistance, and can 
be estimated using the following formula:
6.3 Cable entries 
The electrical connection is made via cable entries with a 
1/2” NPT or M20 x 1.5 thread.
