General Information Important Safety Instructions for operating Coriolis Flowmeters For RHE28 units requiring 12 to 24V DC power, the use of a properly grounded (PELV) supply is highly recommended. The use of shielded cables for all I/O signals is recommended to prevent interference from high level EMI.
The RHE28 is a wall mount transmitter for installation in harsh environment. The standard enclosure rating is IP65 / NEMA 4, IP67 / NEMA 4X is available optionally. Technical data and dimensioned drawings of the RHE28 transmitter can be found in Appendix B. Electrical Installation Caution, the surface of the connection box may be hot if a hot fluid is running through the RHM sensor.
Other types of connector, such as those with screw terminals may be available and can also be used. RHE28 units are delivered with 2 x M16 cable glands and 2 x M25 blind covers as a standard.
In situations where a high potential difference is present between the RHE and RHM, we recommend grounding via the PE C terminal on the RHM side.

0.35mm² (AWG 22) for DC supply cables and 0.5mm² (AWG 20) for mains supply cables. The RHE28 do not contain a mains switch. A switch or circuit breaker close to the RHE28 must be included in the supply line. The switch must be marked correspondingly.
Outputs DO3 and DO4 are control/status outputs only. Digital outputs are push-pull outputs compliant to IEC 60946. They can drive loads connected to ground and loads connected to +24V. RHE28 Installation & Startup Guide – Doc. No. 8.2.1.07 – Ver. 1.31 12 / 43...
3.2.3.2 Analog Outputs An RHE28 transmitter can be supplied with up to two 4-20 mA analog outputs. The outputs can be connected in a passive/floating configuration or as active outputs for ground referenced loads. Output 1 can optionally be equipped with a HART digital communications interface.
3.2.3.3 Digital Inputs RHE28 transmitters can be equipped with up to two IEC60946 compliant digital inputs. NOTE: Unless advised in advance of delivery, all digital inputs are configured by default for active high operation at the factory. Units with active low operational inputs are available upon request.
