Electrical Considerations
Before making any electrical connections to the Model 8732C, consider
the following standards and be sure to have proper power supply,
conduit, and other accessories.
Conduit Connections The Model 8732C Integral Mount Magnetic Flowmeter Transmitter
has two ¾–inch NPT conduit connections. If one of these ports is
not being used, it must be sealed with a conduit seal. In some
cases, conduits may also require drainage if moisture could build up in
the line.
Transmitter Input Power The Model 8732C Transmitter is designed to be powered by voltages
ranging from 90 to 250 V ac (50 to 60 Hz) or 15–30 V dc. Units powered
with an ac power supply should be connected to standard ac
connections for 90 V ac or 250 V ac. Units powered by a 15–30 V dc
power supply have special considerations.
DC Power Requirements Units powered with 15–30 V dc may draw up to 2 amps of current. As a
result, the input power wire must meet certain gauge requirements.
Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 show the maximum wire length for
corresponding supply voltages, wire gauges, and wire type.
