GG-R

Wiring

Electrical wiring must comply with all applicable codes.

Electrical Power:

 24 VDC regulated, 300 mA.

Output:

 Linear 4/20 mA output. Monitoring 

equipment may have a maximum input impedance of 

700 ohms.

Cable Recommendation:

 18/3 shielded, stranded 

cable with drain wire (General Cable C2535A or 

equivalent). See cable recommendations on page 10.

Monitoring:

 Monitoring equipment must be 

configured to indicate a fault if the signal is below 1 

mA. All signals over 20 mA must be considered high 

gas concentrations. Alarm setpoints should not be 

lower than 10% of full-scale range.

Wiring Guidelines:

•  Always use 3-conductor, insulate, stranded, 

shielded copper cable.

•  Do not pull sensor wiring with AC power cables. 

This can cause electrical interference.

•  If cable runs cannot be made without a splice, all 

splice connections should be soldered.

•  Ground the shield at the main control panel. 

Connect the shield wire in the sensor terminal block 

labeled 

SHLD

.

•  Always disconnect power at the controller before 

performing any wiring at the sensor.

•  To maintain NEMA/IP rating of the enclosure, 

conduit fittings of the same rating or better must 

be used.

To signal input of monitoring equipment

To +24V terminal of power supply

To ground terminal of power supply

To case (earth) ground of monitoring equipment

Terminal Block Plug (Field Wiring):

SHLD: To case (earth) ground of monitoring equipment

GND: To ground terminal of power supply

+24V: To +24V terminal of power supply

SIG: To signal input of monitoring equipment
