Quick Start Guide
Supply wire requirements
Use 10–18 AWG wire rated for the proper temperature of the application. For
wire 10–14 AWG use lugs or other appropriate connectors. For connections in
ambient temperatures above 122 °F (50 °C), use a wire rated for 194 °F (90 °C). For
DC powered transmitters with extended cable lengths, verify that there is a
minimum of 12VDC at the terminals of the transmitter with the device under
load.
Disconnects
Connect the device through an external disconnect or circuit breaker per national
and local electrical code.
Installation category
The installation category for the Rosemount 8750W is OVERVOLTAGE CAT II.
Overcurrent protection
The Rosemount 8750W Transmitter requires overcurrent protection of the
supply lines. Fuse rating and compatible fuses are shown in Table 11 and
Table 12.
