Figure 4-5. Load Limitation
The Field Communicator requires a minimum loop resistance of 250
The total resistance load is the sum of the resistance of the signal leads and the load resistance of the
controller, indicator, I.S. Barriers, and related pieces. If intrinsic safety barriers are used, the resistance
and voltage drop must be included.

Wiring the transmitter
Do not connect the power signal wiring to the test terminals. Incorrect wiring can damage test circuit.
Note
Use shielded twisted pairs to yield best results. To ensure proper communication, use 24 AWG or larger
wire and do not exceed 5000 ft. (1500 m).

Perform the following procedure to make wiring connections:
1. Remove the housing cover on terminal compartment side. Do not remove the cover in explosive
atmospheres when the circuit is live. Signal wiring supplies all power to the transmitter.
