Quick Start Guide
Cable preparation
When preparing all wire connections, remove only the insulation required to fit
the wire completely under the terminal connection. Prepare the ends of the coil
drive and electrode cables as shown in Figure 19. Limit the unshielded wire length
to less than 1 inch on both the coil drive and electrode cables. Any length of
unsheathed conductor should be insulated. Excessive removal of insulation may
result in an unwanted electrical short to the transmitter housing or other wire
connections. Excessive unshielded lead length, or failure to connect cable shields
properly, may expose the unit to electrical noise, resulting in an unstable meter
reading.

Shock Hazard
Potential shock hazard across remote junction box terminals 1 & 2 (40V).
Explosion Hazard
Electrodes exposed to process. Use only compatible transmitter and approved
installation practices.
For process temperatures greater than 284 °F (140 °C), use a wire rated for 257 °F
(125 °C).
