AMC-1225 SENSOR MODULES Figure 4-2 Pole Mounting 4.2 CABLE SELECTION AND WIRING To gain access to the terminal blocks, remove the four (4) screws and front panel from the housing. This will expose the field wiring terminals. The sensor / transmitter output (-,s,+) terminal block connects to the input terminal block of the previous unit or to the sensor / transmitter terminal block in the monitor as shown in Figure 4-3.
AMC-1225 SENSOR MODULES NOTE: Turn off the power supply before removing or replacing the sensor. Connection should be made using 3 conductor shielded cable ( shield must be grounded at the monitor ). Run cable through steel conduit for best signal transmission and maximum noise rejection.
Figure 4-4 Typical System Configuration Layouts 5 OPERATION AND CALIBRATION This section covers instructions for the proper operation and calibration of the AMC-1224, 1225 unit. The operation principles are described in further detail followed by different types of periodic adjustments that might be required throughout the lifetime of the equipment.
OFF the green LED viewed through the front panel. The condition will exist until the fault is corrected. 5.2 CALIBRATION The AMC-1225 sensor unit is factory calibrated at levels based on set standards. Calibration is recommended two times per year. Transmitters need to be returned to factory for calibration.
