ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS - Power Wiring 
 
The TB82PH Transmitter is powered by DC voltage. See 
the appropriate power requirements in the Specification 
Section for the particular type of TB82 Transmitter in use 
(Analog, HART, PROFIBUS or Foundation Fieldbus (FF)).  
Power is connected to the POWER/OUTPUT area on 
TB1, terminals 1 and 2 (see Figure 7). 
 
The terminal blocks located in the rear of the transmitter 
accept wire sizes from 12 to 24 AWG.  Pin-style 
terminations should be used for all connections.  The 
terminal block label identifies all electrical connections and 
should be followed when wiring the transmitter.  
 
Normal grounding practice is to terminate all grounds at 
the control room side, in which case the field side of the 
screen should be adequately protected to avoid contact 
with metallic objects. The transmitter case should be 
grounded.  Ground connections are provided internally (in 
the terminal compartment) and externally.  
 
For IS systems the grounding should be at the safety 
barrier earth connection.  For bus-powered systems the 
grounding of the screen should be close to the power 
supply unit. The specific noise immunity and emitted 
interference are only guaranteed when bus screening is 
fully effective (e.g., ensuring that screening is maintained 
through any existing junction boxes.)  Appropriate equi-
potential bonding must be provided to avoid differences in 
potential among the individual plant components. 
 
To ensure fault-free communication on fieldbus (FF or PA) 
installations, the bus must be properly terminated at both 
ends.  Only approved bus terminators must be used for 
intrinsically safe circuits.
