5 Connecting to power supply
5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
•
Carryoutelectricalconnectionbytrained,qualiedpersonnel
authorised by the plant operator
•
If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed
Warning:
Only connect or disconnect in de-energized state.
Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".
Note:
Power the instrument via an energy-limited circuit (power max. 100 W)
acc. to IEC 61010-1, e.g.
•
Class 2 power supply unit (acc. to UL1310)
•
SELV power supply unit (safety extra-low voltage) with suitable
internal or external limitation of the output current
Keepinmindthefollowingadditionalfactorsthatinuencetheoperat-
ing voltage:
•
Lower output voltage of the power supply unit under nominal load
(e.g. with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of fault)
•
Inuenceofadditionalinstrumentsinthecircuit(seeloadvaluesin
chapter "Technical data")
Use cable with round cross section for instruments with housing and
cablegland.Toensurethesealeectofthecablegland(IPprotection
rating),ndoutwhichcableouterdiameterthecableglandissuitable
for.
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable. If electro-
magnetic interference is expected which is above the test values of
EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, screened cable should be used.
Note:
Screened cable generally necessary in HART multidrop mode.
Note:
If the temperatures are too high, the cable insulation can be dam-
aged. Hence keep apart from the ambient temperature also the self-
heating of the instrument for the temperature resistance of the cable
in the connection compartment in mind

.
If shielded cable is required, we recommend that the cable screening
be connected to ground potential on one side of the supply side.
