4.2.1 Micro Motion 9-wire cable types and usage

Cable types

Micro Motion supplies three types of 9-wire cable: jacketed, shielded, and armored. Note the following differences between the cable types:

• Armored cable provides mechanical protection for the cable wires.

• Jacketed cable has a smaller bend radius than shielded or armored cable.

• If ATEX compliance is required, the different cable types have different installation

requirements.

Cable jacket types

All cable types can be ordered with a PVC jacket or Teflon® FEP jacket. Teflon FEP is required for the following installation types:

• All installations that include a T-series sensor.

• All installations with a cable length of 250 ft (75 m) or greater, a nominal flow less

than 20 percent, and ambient temperature changes greater than +68 °F (+20 °C).

Cable jacket material and temperature rangesTable 4-1:

4.3 Wire the transmitter to the sensor using jacketed cable

Prerequisites

For ATEX installations, the jacketed cable must be installed inside a user-supplied sealed metallic conduit that provides 360° termination shielding for the enclosed cable.

CAUTION!

Sensor wiring is intrinsically safe. To keep sensor wiring intrinsically safe, keep the sensor wiring separated from power supply wiring and output wiring.

CAUTION!

Keep cable away from devices such as transformers, motors, and power lines, which produce large magnetic fields. Improper installation of cable, cable gland, or conduit could cause inaccurate measurements or flow meter failure.

CAUTION!

Improperly sealed housings can expose electronics to moisture, which can cause measurement error or flowmeter failure. Install drip legs in conduit and cable, if necessary. Inspect and grease all gaskets and O-rings. Fully close and tighten all housing covers and conduit openings.

Procedure

1. Run the cable through the conduit. Do not install 9-wire cable and power cable in

the same conduit.

2. To prevent conduit connectors from seizing in the threads of the conduit openings,

apply a conductive anti-galling compound to the threads, or wrap threads with PTFE tape two to three layers deep.

Wrap the tape in the opposite direction that the male threads will turn when inserted into the female conduit opening.

3. Remove the junction box cover and core processor end-cap.

4. At both the sensor and transmitter, do the following:

a. Connect a male conduit connector and waterproof seal to the conduit opening

for 9-wire.

b. Pass the cable through the conduit opening for the 9-wire cable.

c. Insert the stripped end of each wire into the corresponding terminal at the

sensor and transmitter ends, matching by color (see Table 4-5). No bare wires should remain exposed.

Note

For ELITE®, H-Series, T-Series, and some F-Series sensors, match the wire to the terminal by the color identified on the inside of the sensor junction box cover.

4.4 Wire the transmitter to the sensor using shielded or armored cable

Prerequisites

For ATEX installations, shielded or armored cable must be installed with cable glands, at both the sensor and transmitter ends. Cable glands that meet ATEX requirements can be purchased from Micro Motion. Cable glands from other vendors can be used.

CAUTION!

Install cable glands in the 9-wire conduit opening in the transmitter housing and the sensor junction box. Ensure that the cable drain wires and shields do not make contact with the junction box or the transmitter housing. Improper installation of cable or cable glands could cause inaccurate measurements or flow meter failure.

5.5.1 9-wire cable types and usage

Cable types

Micro Motion supplies three types of 9-wire cable: jacketed, shielded, and armored. Note the following differences between the cable types:

• Armored cable provides mechanical protection for the cable wires.

• Jacketed cable has a smaller bend radius than shielded or armored cable.

• If ATEX compliance is required, the different cable types have different installation

requirements.

Cable jacket types

All cable types can be ordered with a PVC jacket or Teflon® FEP jacket. Teflon FEP is required for the following installation types:

• All installations that include a T-series sensor.

• All installations with a cable length of 250 ft (75 m) or greater, a nominal flow less

than 20 percent, and ambient temperature changes greater than +68 °F (+20 °C).

5.6 Wire the remote core processor to the sensor using jacketed cable

Prerequisites

For ATEX installations, the jacketed cable must be installed inside a user-supplied sealed metallic conduit that provides 360° termination shielding for the enclosed cable.

CAUTION!

Sensor wiring is intrinsically safe. To keep sensor wiring intrinsically safe, keep the sensor wiring separated from power supply wiring and output wiring.

CAUTION!

Procedure

1. Run the cable through the conduit. Do not install 9-wire cable and power cable in

the same conduit.

2. To prevent conduit connectors from seizing in the threads of the conduit openings,

apply a conductive anti-galling compound to the threads, or wrap threads with PTFE tape two to three layers deep.

Wrap the tape in the opposite direction that the male threads will turn when inserted into the female conduit opening.

3. Remove the junction box cover and core processor end-cap.

4. At both the sensor and transmitter, do the following:

a. Connect a male conduit connector and waterproof seal to the conduit opening

for 9-wire.

b. Pass the cable through the conduit opening for the 9-wire cable.

c. Insert the stripped end of each wire into the corresponding terminal at the

sensor and transmitter ends, matching by color. No bare wires should remain exposed.

transmitters with configurable input/ outputs

Topics covered in this chapter:

• Channel configuration

• mA/HART wiring

• Frequency output wiring

• Discrete output wiring

• Discrete input wiring

9.1 Channel configuration

The six wiring terminals are divided into three pairs, and called Channels A, B, and C. Channel A is terminals 1 and 2; Channel B is terminals 3 and 4; Channel C is terminals 5 and

6. Variable assignments are governed by channel configuration.

Channel configurationTable 9-1:

Channel Terminals Configuration options Power

A 1, 2 mA output with HART/Bell202 Internal

B 3, 4 mA output (default) Internal

Frequency output Internal or external

Discrete output Internal or external

C 5, 6 Frequency output (default) Internal or external

Discrete output Internal or external

Discrete input Internal or external

Notes

• For Channel A, the Bell 202 signal is superimposed on the mA output.

• You must provide power to the outputs when a channel is set to external power.

• When both Channel B and Channel C are configured for frequency output (dual pulse),

frequency output 2 is generated from the same signal that is sent to the first frequency output. Frequency output 2 is electrically isolated but not independent.

• You cannot configure the combination of Channel B as discrete output and Channel C as

frequency output.
