Sensor to Transmitter Cable Weights
The passive sonar flow meter is configured such that the transmitter is
always located remotely from the sensor head. The cable connecting
the sensor head to the transmitter can be up to 300 feet long.
Electrical Connections
Holes sized for 3/4 inch NPT (M25) fittings (1-1/16 inch diameter) are
located on the base of the transmitter enclosure. The sensor to
transmitter cable is terminated to the screw terminal block within
transmitter enclosure.
Note: All connector glands used on the transmitter enclosure should
be rated to NEMA 4X to maintain transmitter rating of NEMA 4X. For
ATEX Zone 2 Transmitters, further gland requirements can be found
in SONAR PROCESS MONITORING SYSTEM SUPPLEMENT FOR
ATEX ZONE 2 SAFETY.
A single cable connection is made between the transmitter and the
sensor head. Sensor head connection is made with a connector that
is factory installed on one end of the supplied cable. There are two
different sizes of connector used on passive sonar sensor heads. The
cable supplied with the system will have the properly sized mating
connector.
