one shielding the signal, and one shielding
the overall cable. These specific cable characteristics protect
the measurement signal from electromagnetic interference.
Using a cable with different construction may interfere with
the measurement system' s ability to properly measure.
To correctly terminate the ends of the interconnect cable, refer to Figure 2-6 and
follow this procedure:
Carefully strip back 2% inches of the outer cable jacket, the outer shield foil,
and the cellophane binder. This exposes the sensor shield wire, the inner
shield wire, and the three foil-wrapped wire pairs.
Cut off the exposed
2% inches of only the yellow and green wire pair.
Peel back and cut off the exposed inner shield foil from the red/black and
blue/white wire pairs.
Carefully strip back an additional
CDE3600-CAB
interconnect cable. If a different cable is used, it must have
equivalent construction: four conductors, and two separate
isolated shields
ising only its
CDE3600-CAB is provided with unfinished
ends since it must often be shortened during installation. The cable is very
similar to the sensor ' s integral cable except that it has two additional conductors
(green and yellow) which are not required. When stripping the interconnect
cable during termination, purposely cut off these green and yellow wires from
each end of the stripped-back cable. This ensures the same wire color coding
used by the sensor ' s integral cable.

SENSOR/INTERCONNECT CABLE DETAILS
Sensor Cable Details
The sensor' s integral cable is a 6-wire crosslinked polyethylene-jacketed cable
with 4 conductors and two isolated shield wires. Refer to Figure 2-l for the
function and color of each wire in the sensor ' s integral cable.
