5.1 Conduit entries and connections
Transmitter conduit entry ports can be ordered with ½"-14NPT or M20
female threaded connections. Conduit connections should be made in
accordance with national, local, and plant electrical codes. Unused conduit
entries should be sealed with the appropriate certified plugs. The plastic
shipping plugs do not provide ingress protection.
5.2 Conduit requirements
• For installations with an intrinsically safe electrode circuit, a separate
conduit for the coil cable and the electrode cable may be required. Refer
to the product reference manual.
• For installations with non-intrinsically safe electrode circuit, or when
using the combination cable, a single dedicated conduit run for the coil
drive and electrode cable between the sensor and the remote transmitter
may be acceptable. Removal of the barriers for intrinsic safety isolation is
permitted for non-intrinsically safe electrode installations.
• Bundled cables from other equipment in a single conduit are likely to
create interference and noise in the system. See
• Electrode cables should not be run together in the same cable tray with
power cables.
• Output cables should not be run together with power cables.
• Select conduit size appropriate to feed cables through to the flowmeter.
