Prepare the electrical connections

Cable selection
Use 24-14 AWG wire. Twisted pairs and shielded wiring are recommended for
environments with high EMI (electromagnetic interference).
Two wires can be safely connected to each terminal screw.
Cable gland/conduit
For explosion-proof/flameproof installations, only use cable glands or conduit
entry devices certified explosion-proof or flameproof.
Power supply
The transmitter operates on 12-42.4 Vdc (12-30 Vdc in Intrinsically Safe
installations) at the transmitter terminals.
Power consumption
Max. 1 W, current max. 23 mA
Load limitations
For HART
Maximum loop resistance is determined by the voltage level of the external
power supply, as described by
Figure 2. Load Limitations
