Transducer Cable Installation
Use the table below to determine the correct cable and connectors for your application. Cables
that have been assembled and tested are available from AMCI under the given part numbers. If
you are making your own cables, cable and connectors can be ordered from AMCI.

Table 3.4 Transducer Cable Numbers
1) Resolvers are low voltage, low power devices. If you are using A-B guide-
lines for cabling installation, treat the transducer cable as a Category 2 cable.
It can be installed in conduit along with other low power cabling such as
communication cables and low power ac/dc I/O lines. It cannot be installed
in conduit with ac power lines or high power ac/dc I/O lines. Refer to the
Allen Bradley Programmable Controller Grounding and Wiring Guidelines
manual, Publication number 1770-4.1 for more information.
2) The shields of the transducer cable must be grounded at the 1700 module
only! When installing the cable, treat the shield as a conductor. Do not
connect the shield to ground at any junction box or the transducer. This will
eliminate ground loops that could damage the module or PLC.
GC-1 Grounding Clamp
The shield of the transducer cable must be attached to the chassis
with a Grounding Clamp (AMCI part number GC-1). This
guarantees a low impedance path to ground for any EMI radiation
that may be induced into the cable. The drain wire from the
Grounding Clamp must be connected to pin 3 of the MS-8 or
MS-14 Transducer Input Connector. Pin 9 of the MS-14 connector
is internally connected to pin 3 and does not need an additional
wire. The grounding clamp package includes installation
instructions.
