Spurs
Information regarding spurs
• The cable between the connector and the bus driver in the field device is known as a
spur.
• Total length of all spurs < 6.6 m (22 ft) at max. 1.5 Mbit/s.
• Spurs may not have a bus terminator.
• Spurs should not be used for transmission rates > 1.5 Mbit/s.
• Practical experience in plants has shown that caution must be exercised when
configuring spurs. It cannot be assumed that the sum of all spurs at transmission rates of
1.5 Mbit/s may be 6.6 m (22 ft). This is greatly influenced by the actual arrangement of
the field devices.
6.3.3 Sensor connection

CAUTION
Inadequate potential equalization can compromise electrical safety
‣
Connect the yellow/green protective ground of the FDU91F, FDU93 and FDU95
sensors to local potential equalization after a maximum distance of 30 m (98 ft). The
can be done in a terminal box, at the transmitter or in the cabinet.
NOTICE
Interference signals may cause malfunctions
‣
Do not route the sensor cables parallel to high-voltage electric power lines or near
frequency converters.
NOTICE
A damaged cable shield may cause malfunctions
‣
For pre-terminated cables: connect the black wire (shield) to the "BK" terminal.
‣
For extension cables: twist the shield and connect to the "BK" terminal.
L
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
‣
Do not connect FDU83, FDU84, FDU85 and FDU86 sensors with an ATEX, FM, or CSA
certificate to the FMU90 or FMU95 transmitters.
‣
For the sensors FDU91F/93/95/96 and FDU83/84/85/86: connect the ground cable
(GNYE) to local potential equalization after a maximum distance of 30 m (98 ft). This
can be done in the terminal box or at the transmitter or in the cabinet if the distance to
the sensor does not exceed 30 m (98 ft).
NOTICE
The evaluation electronics and their direct connections (display/service connector,
service interface etc.) are galvanically isolated from the power supply and the
communication signals, and are connected to the potential of the sensor electronics.
‣
Pay attention to the potential difference in the case of grounded sensors.
‣
If removing the jacket of the sensor cable, take the longest required cable length into
consideration.
