Wire, ground, and power up
Prerequisites
Use copper wire of sufficient size to ensure that the voltage across
the transmitter power terminals does not drop below 9 Vdc. Power
supply voltage can be variable, especially under abnormal conditions,
such as when operating on battery backup. Emerson recommends
using a minimum of 12 Vdc under normal operating conditions and
using shielded twisted pair Type A cable.
Procedure
1. To power the transmitter, connect the power leads to the
terminals indicated on the terminal block label.
