1-8 Features and Capabilities
Cabling Each probe requires an interconnecting cable. Cables differ
depending on the probe. The various cables are discussed below
under the appropriate probe type. All of these cable assemblies can be
ordered from GE Panametrics.
M Series and TF Series
Probes
The M and the TF Series probes are connected to the analyzer with a
special GE Panametrics shielded cable. Probes can be located up to
600 meters (2000 feet) from the Series 1 (consult GE Panametrics for
distances up to 1200 meters). To measure pressure with a TF probe,
the maximum cable length is approximately 152 meters (500 feet).
Small electronic offsets, especially with longer cables, are possible
and should be corrected as described in Performing a MH Calibration
Test/Adjustment on page 1-20 of the Service Manual.
Moisture Image Series
Probe
The Moisture Image Series Probe can be connected to the Series 1
with an unshielded, twisted-pair cable. The probe may be located up
to 915 meters (3000 feet) from the analyzer using 22 AWG twisted
pair cable. (Consult GE Panametrics for longer cable lengths.)
Delta F Oxygen Cells The standard Delta F Cell is connected to the analyzer with a four-
wire shielded cable (22 AWG). With 22-AWG cable, oxygen cells
with a range from 0 to 1/10/100 ppm
v
or 0 to 0.5/5/50 ppm
v
can be
located up to 90 meters (300 feet) away from the analyzer. All other
oxygen cells can be located up to 15 meters (50 feet) away. For
greater cable lengths, 20, 18 or 16 AWG wire is required. Consult a
factory engineer when a longer length is required.
Pressure Sensors The Series 1 accepts either pressure transducers or pressure
transmitters. Most pressure transducers can be connected with a
standard four-wire shielded cable. Most pressure transmitters are
connected using either a two or four-wire non-shielded cable and can
be either loop or self-powered.
RS232 Communications
Port
A personal computer or serial printer can be connected to the Series 1
RS232 communications port using a standard serial cable. A special
switch enables the user to configure the unit as Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) or Data Communications Equipment (DCE). (See
Connecting a PC or Printer in Chapter 1 of the Service Manual for
details on DTE/DCE configuration.)
