Cables for locations without interference
For steel (metal) conduit or open wiring away from any sources of interference, use
recommended Honeywell cables listed in the parts list in Section 11.
Shielded wiring for locations with interference
In applications where plastic conduit or open wire trays are used, shielded 6-conductor 22 gage
(0.326 mm
2
) or heavier signal input wiring is required.
Avoiding interference
Instrument wiring is considered Level 1, per section 6.3 of IEEE STD. 518 for plant facilities
layout and instrumentation application. Level 1 wiring must not be run close to higher level
signals such as power lines or drive signals for phase fired SCR systems, etc. Unprotected input
wiring in high electrical noise environments is subject to electromagnetic, electrostatic, and radio
frequency interference pickup of sufficient magnitude to overload input filters. The best
instrument performance is obtained by keeping the interfering signals out of the instruments
altogether by using proper wiring practices.
