TRICON/E/E2/E3 TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
When forced to cross other wiring, cross at right angles to minimize noise coupling between wiring.
Use a dedicated power source, such as a separate circuit breaker or isolation transformer, for all
instrumentation equipment to reduce the effects of electrical noise from other equipment on the line.
Ensure proper earth ground is available and installed in compliance with local electrical codes.
Locate the terminal cover and remove the cover screw.
Lift the terminal cover from the transmitter.
Figure 2.1 Elements of the Transmitter
Insert the end of the multi-conductor cable through the hole in the terminal cover
as shown in Figure 2.2.
Move the cover far enough down the cable to allow you to work with the end that
you just inserted.
