Interconnection
Notes:
• Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance
with local governing regulations.
• Do not route cable openly. Run cable separately in a grounded metal conduit
to protect it from ambient electrical noise.
• Use the supplied shielded, 3-wire cable to connect the transducer to the
Siemens Milltronics transceiver. Supplied cable lengths are 1 m (3 ft).
• Seal all thread connections to prevent the ingress of moisture.
• Do not run cable near high voltage or current runs, contacts, or SCR control
drives.
• The terminal blocks on the transceiver are described in the transceiver
manual.
Cable Extension
Applies to the MiniRanger Plus and SITRANS LU/AiRanger series of transceivers.
Connect the supplied cable to a junction box and use RG–62 A/U coaxial cable from there
to the transceiver. This setup is effective for combined runs up to 365 m (1200 ft).
Twisted Pair Extension
Applies to the MultiRanger 100/200 transceiver. Extend the cable using 18 AWG shielded /
twisted pair.
