1. The capacitance values represent capacitance from one conductor to all other conductors and shield. This is the appropriate value to use in the cable length calculations.
2. The resistance values include both wires of the twisted pair.

Compliance Voltage
If the compliance voltage of the control system is not
known, perform the following compliance voltage test.
1. Disconnect the field wiring from the control system
and connect equipment as shown in figure 2-26 to the
control system terminals.
2. Set the control system to provide maximum output
current.
3. Increase the resistance of the 1 kW potentiometer,
shown in figure 2-26, until the current observed on the
milliammeter begins to drop quickly.
4. Record the voltage shown on the voltmeter. This is
the control system compliance voltage.

control system, contact your Emerson Process
Management sales office.
