Supply wire requirements
Use 10–18 AWG wire rated for the proper temperature of the application.
For wire 10–14 AWG use lugs or other appropriate connectors. For
connections in ambient temperatures above 122 °F (50 °C), use a wire rated
for 194 °F (90 °C). For DC powered transmitters with extended cable lengths,
verify that there is a minimum of 12VDC at the terminals of the transmitter
with the device under load.
Electrical disconnect requirements
Connect the device through an external disconnect or circuit breaker per
national and local electrical code.
Installation category
The installation category for the transmitter is OVERVOLTAGE CAT II.
Overcurrent protection
The transmitter requires overcurrent protection of the supply lines. Fuse
rating and compatible fuses are shown in
