Incoming power and signal cables should be a braided shield cable such as AlphaWire3248 or equivalent. The braided shield
must be terminated to the board stack as shown in Figure 27 Connecting Power and Grounding Cable, or alternatively, the
earth ground at the user’s power source location.
An external Class2 power supply is required to supply 12-30VDC to the S5000. Incoming power and signal cables should be a
braided shield cable such as AlphaWire3248 or equivalent.
3.6.4 Power Load Requirements and Maximum Mounting Distances
Consider future needs when selecting cable size and power supply. The maximum distance between the S5000 transmitter
and the power supply depends on the sensor configuration (sensing technology and one or two sensors), wire gauge, and the
power supply voltage. The table below outlines the maximum transmitter mounting distances. First determine if the sensor(s)
will be locally or remotely mounted. Then choose sensor type(s). The corresponding maximum power and mounting distances
by wire gauge are shown.
