Installation
Observe the following items when routing cables:
•
The signal and excitation current cable carries a voltage signal of only a few millivolts and
therefore must be routed the shortest distance possible. The maximum permissible signal
cable length is 50 m.
•
Avoid routing the cable in the vicinity of electrical equipment or switching elements that can
create stray fields, switching pulses and induction. If this is not possible, run the
signal/excitation current cable through a metal pipe and connect this to the ground.
•
All leads must be shielded and connected to station ground.
•
Do not run the signal cable over junction boxes or terminal blocks. A shielded excitation
cable (white) is run parallel to the signal lines (red and blue). As a result, only one cable is
required between the flowmeter primary and the transmitter.
•
To shield against magnetic interspersion, the cable contains outer shielding that is attached
to the SE clamp.
•
Make sure during installation that the cable
is provided with a water trap (1). For vertical
installation, align the cable glands pointing
downward.

Signal and excitation cable connection for model FXE4000 (MAG-XE)
The flowmeter primary is connected to the
transmitter via the signal / excitation current
cable (part no. D173D025U01). The coils of
the flowmeter primary are supplied with a field
voltage by the transmitter over terminals
M1/M2. Connect the signal/excitation current
cable to the flowmeter primary as shown in the
figure.
