4.3 Electrical installation
4.3.1 Electrical installation drawing
See Electrical Installation Drawing D7000001-928 for further information.
4.3.2 Cable entries
The Rosemount 2460 housing has nine M20 x 1.5 and two M25 x 1.5 entries.
Connections must be made in accordance with local or plant electrical
codes.
Make sure that unused cable entries are properly sealed to prevent moisture
or other contamination from entering the terminal board compartment of
the electronics housing.
NOTICE
Thread sealing (PTFE) tape or paste on male threads of conduit is required to
provide a water/dust tight conduit seal and to meet the required degree of
ingress protection as well as to enable future removal of the plug/gland.
Use the enclosed metal plugs to seal unused cable entries in order to achieve
required level of ingress protection. The plastic plugs mounted at delivery
are not sufficient as seal.
4.3.3 Power supply
The Rosemount 2460 System Hub accepts supply voltage 100 - 250 Vac
(50/60 Hz) and 24 - 48 Vdc.
Note
The Rosemount 2460 is polarity insensitive for DC voltage input.
4.3.4 Cable selection for power supply
Appropriate cross sectional area of wires must be used in order to prevent a
high voltage drop to the connected device. Recommended cable size is 0.75
mm2 to 2.1 mm2 (18 AWG to 14 AWG) in order to minimize the voltage
drop.
4.3.5 Grounding
The housing should always be grounded in accordance with national and
local electrical codes. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by
the equipment. The most effective grounding method is direct connection
to earth ground with minimal impedance.
There is a grounding screw on the housing which is identified by ground
symbol
18 Rosemount 2460 Tank Hub
.
September 2020 Quick Start Guide
Inside the Rosemount 2460’s terminal compartment there is a ground bar
with screw connections identified by ground symbols . The ground bar
shall only be used for connecting signal related ground wires, e.g. shield
ground connections from the field bus harness. The protective earth ground
connection shall be connected to the system hub via the dedicated power
board IEC plug and the external grounding screw on the housing.
Connect shield to ground at one end only, otherwise a ground loop may
occur.
NOTICE
Grounding the device via threaded conduit connection may not provide
sufficient ground.

4.3.6 Connecting to a Rosemount 2460 System Hub
There are several ways to connect a Rosemount 2460 System Hub to a host
system:
• from a Host Port using TRL2 bus
• from a Host Port using RS232 or RS485
• via Ethernet Eth1 port
The TRL2 Bus requires a twisted and shielded pair cable with a crosssectional area of 0.50 to 2.5 mm2 (20 to 14 AWG). A Rosemount 2180 Field
Bus Modem (FBM) is used to connect the system hub to TankMaster or other
host computer.
A service PC can be connected to the Ethernet Eth3 port for configuration
and maintenance.
For RS232 communication, wiring cross-sectional area must be at least 0.25
mm2 (24 AWG or similar). The typical maximum length of the RS232
connection is 30 m at baud rate 4800.
