32 TTF300 FIELD-MOUNT TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER | OI/TTF300-EN REV. I
… 8 Electrical connections
… Shielding of the sensor connecting cable
Additional examples for shielding / grounding
Insulated sensor measuring inset (thermocouple, mV, RTD, Ohm), transmitter housing grounded
The shielding of the sensor connection cable is grounded via the grounded transmitter housing. This shielding is insulated from the
sensor.
The shielding of the power supply cable is grounded at the supply isolator / DCS input directly This shielding is insulated from the
transmitter housing.
The shielding of the power supply cable and the shielding of sensor connection cable must not be connected to one another. Make
sure that the shielding is not connected to ground anywhere else.

Insulated sensor measuring inset (thermocouple, mV, RTD, Ohm), transmitter housing grounded
The shielding of the sensor connection cable is grounded via the grounded pressure sensor housing. This shielding of the power
supply cable is insulated from the transmitter housing.
