When installing the device, make sure that the electrical values of the cable
between SET-2000 and sensors never exceed maximum
parameters.
The cabling between SET-2000 control unit and cable extension junction box
must be executed as in figures 5 and 6. Extension cable should be shielded
paired twisted instrument cable.
Due to non-linear characteristics of the sensor voltage, the interaction of both,
capacitance and inductance, must be taken into account. The table below
indicates the connecting values in explosion groups IIC and IIB.
In explosion group IIA the values of the group IIB can be followed.

Table 2. Electrical parameters
Maximum length of the sensor cable is determined by the resistance (max. 75
Ω) and other electrical parameters (Co, Lo and Lo/Ro) of the sensor circuit.
Instrument cable with following characteristics is used:
- DC resistance of a twin wire at + 20°C is approx. 81 Ω / km.
- Inductance is approx. 3 μH / m.
- Capacitance is approx. 70 nF/km.
The max length is (75 Ω - 10 Ω) / (81 Ω / km) = 800 m.
The influence of inductance and capacitance of a 800 m cable is:
e.g. SET/OS2 sensor [Li = 30 μH] is 2,43 mH. L/R ratio is thus 2,4 mH / (75 – 10)
Ω = 37 μH/Ω, which is less than the maximum allowed value 116,5 μH/Ω.
and the e.g. SET/OS2 sensor [Ci = 3 nF] is 59 nF.
When compared to the values in table 2, we can summarize that above values do
not limit the use of this particular 800 m cable in explosion groups IIB or IIC.
Feasibility of other cable types and sensors for different distances can be
calculated accordingly.
