3-6. Wiring of sensors

General precautions

Generally, signals from sensors are at low volt-

age and current level. Thus a lot of care must

be taken to avoid interference. Before connect-

ing sensor cables to the converter make sure

that following conditions are met:

– the sensor cables are not mounted in

tracks together with high voltage and or

power switching cables

– only standard sensor cable or extension

cable is used

– the converter is mounted within the dis-

tance of the sensor cables (max. 10 m) +

up to 60m WF10 extension cable.

– the setup is kept flexible at the sensors end

for easy insertion and retraction of the sen-

sor in the fitting.

Sensor wiring

Refer to figure 3-9, which includes drawings

that outline sensor wiring.

The EXAxt can be used with a wide range of

sensor types. The sensor system fall into two

categories, the ones that use fixed cables and

the ones with separate cables.

To connect sensors with fixed cables, simply

match the terminal numbers in the instrument

with the identification numbers on the cable

ends.
