1.5 WiringCaution The Through-Air Radar transmitter operates at volt-ages of 20-36 VDC (GP), 20-28.6 VDC (IS) and 20-36VDC (XP). Higher voltage will damage the transmitter. Wiring between the power supply and the Through-AirRadar transmitter should be made using 18-22 AWGshielded twisted pair instrument cable. Within the trans-mitter enclosure, connections are made to the terminalstrip and the ground connections. The directions forwiring the Through-Air Radar transmitter depend on theapplication:•General Purpose or Non-incendive (Cl I, Div. 2)•Intrinsically Safe•Explosion ProofWARNING! Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect equipmentunless power has been switched off or the area isknown to be non-hazardous.1.5.1 General Purpose or Non-incendive (Cl I, Div. 2)A general purpose installation does not have flammablemedia present. Areas rated non-incendive (Cl I, Div. 2)have flammable media present only under abnormal con-ditions. No special electrical connections are required. Ifflammable media is contained in the vessel, the transmittermust be installed per Cl I, Div. 1 standards of area classification.To install General Purpose or Non-incendive wiring:1. Remove the cover to the wiring compartment of the trans-mitter. Install the conduit plug in the unused opening.2. Install a conduit fitting and pull the supply wires. 3. Connect shield to an earth ground at power supply andleave floating at the transmitter.4. Connect an earth ground wire to the nearest green groundscrew. (Not shown in illustration.)5.
