  SIPART PS2 with and without HART 
90  Operating Instructions, 10/2013, A5E00074631-11 
The NCS is equipped with a shielded four-pole cable. Wire this cable to the positioner as 
follows: 
1.  Feed the four-pole NCS cable 
⑩ through the union nut and the cable gland. Note: The 
type of cable gland depends on the positioner version. 
2.  Tighten the cable gland 
⑨. 
3.  Terminate the four-pole NCS cable 
⑩ in the positioner in accordance with the wiring 
diagram. 
4.  Place the cable clamp 
⑦ onto the outer insulation of the four-pole NCS cable ⑩. 
5.  Use the screw 
⑧ to bond the cable shielding lug ⑫ and the cable clamp ⑦ to the 
ground terminal of the positioner. 
6.  Grounding: 
The rear steel panel of the NCS is inevitably bonded to ground potential of the system by 
mounting the console. This ground connection is only functional if there is a low-
impedance connection to ground potential of the system. Ensure this state by measuring 
ground resistance. If necessary, ensure proper grounding by means of an additional 
cable from the NCS to ground potential. 
 
Connecting the external position detection system to the EMC filter module 
Requirements 
You need the EMC filter module with Order No. C73451-A430-D23 for the electrical 
connection of an external position detection system C73451-A430-D78, an external 
potentiometer, or an NCS sensor to the positioner.  
 
Note 
Different cable glands 
A blue and a gray cable gland are provided to distinguish between explosion
-proof and not 
-proof devices. 
  Use the blue cable gland for explosion-proof devices in "intrinsically safe" protection type. 
Use the gray cable gland for all other designs.
