Alternate Method
If the transmitter board must be mounted separate
from the sensor (high temperature applications, etc.),
separate the sensor only, leaving the transmitter PC
board inside the DCUEX enclosure. When using this
installation option, see Table 3-18 for maximum wiring
distances.
Mount the sensor directly to the separation kit junction
box. Use three conductor shielded cable for the
connection between the terminal block in the
separation kit junction box and P2 on the DCUEX
transmitter board. A plug with screw terminals is
provided for connecting the cable to P2 on the
transmitter board. Observe the wiring color code.
Connect the shield to the ground terminal in the
DCUEX junction box.
