Transmitter Mounting
3.1 General guidelines
Follow these guidelines when installing the rack-mount RFT9739
transmitter:
• Locate the transmitter where it is accessible for service and calibration.
• Install the transmitter in a location that is compliant with the area
specified on the RFT9739 approvals tag (see Figure 2-1, page 3).
• To comply with CENELEC standards for hazardous area installations in
Europe, the RFT9739 must be installed outside the hazardous area.
The transmitter installation must meet (at least) IP20 safety
requirements, per IEC 529.
• Total length of cable from the sensor to the transmitter must not exceed
1000 feet (300 meters).
• Locate the transmitter where the ambient temperature remains
between 32 and 122
°
F (0 and 50
°
C).
The rack-mount RFT9739 meets DIN standard 41494, 19-inch
configuration for control-room equipment.
• Transmitter dimensions are shown in Figure 3-1, page 12.
• Three transmitters fit into one 19-inch enclosure with a Eurocard
220 mm depth, as indicated in Figure 3-2, page 13.
• When installing multiple transmitters in a single rack, 15 watts of
forced-air cooling, per transmitter, is required. Minimum spacing is
shown in Figure 3-3, page 14.
The back panel of the transmitter housing has two 32-pin connectors for
sensor wiring and output wiring. These connectors meet DIN standard
41612, Model F (male). For more information, see Section 3.2, page 15.
CAUTION
Failure to maintain an ambient temperature below
maximum temperature rating could result in
operational failure and product damage.
Install transmitter in an area with sufficient air flow to keep
the ambient temperature below 122°F (50°C).
