Series 6A Installation, Operation & Maintenance – Field Connections
6A O & M : 6
FIELD WIRING
Each S6A is provided with two conduit entries for power/
incoming analog signal of the main unit and any optional
modules.
Please refer to the wiring diagrams referenced in this doc-
ument when connecting the positioner and any optional
modules. It is essential to install the optional modules before
connecting the positioner electrically. Refer to the following
“Technical Description” portion of this manual for relevant
power distribution sizing information when installing a S6A
positioner and its optional modules.
Safety Notes:
• Local regulations regarding hazardous environments
must be followed when installing this device in a hazard-
ous location.
• The conduit connections must be properly sealed to main-
tain the weatherproof integrity of the actuator enclosure.
• Never connect the current input (terminals 6 and 7 as
shown on the diagrams to the right) to a power source;
the positioner will probably be destroyed in that case. Al-
ways use a current source with a maximum output cur-
rent of I = 20 mA.
• To maintain auxiliary power, the input current must be a
minimum of 3.6 mA.
Note: The plastic enclosure is metallized from inside to
increase the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with
respect to high-frequency radiation. The shield is connected
to the threaded bush shown in Figure 1 such that it is elec-
trically conductive. This protection is effective only if you
connect at least one of the bushes to the grounded control
valves through electrically conductive (bare) attachments.
