4.7.4 Wiring (Loop Configuration):
4.7.4.1 Loop Configuration:
The Taco 3100 Pressure Transmitters use a two-wire system for
power, 4~20mA analog signal transmission and HART
®
digital
transmission.
A DC Power Supply is required for the transmitter loop. The trans-
mitter and power supply should be connected as shown below.
See Figure 10.
4.7.4.2 Wiring Installation:
General use (see Figure 11):
Use metallic conduit or waterproof cable glands for wiring.
Apply non-hardening sealant to the terminal box and the threads
on the flexible metal conduit for waterproofing.
Explosion-proof metal conduit wiring (see Figure 12):
A seal fitting must be installed near the terminal box port.
Apply a non-hardening sealant to the threads of the terminal con-
nection box.
4.7.5 Grounding:
Grounding should satisfy KS requirements (grounding resistance
should be 10 ohm or less). Grounding is required for explosion-
proof applications and the ground resistance must be below 10
ohms.
NOTE: In case of Built-in Lightning Protector, Grounding should
satisfy Special KS requirements (grounding resistance, 10 ohm or
less).

DANGER: Explosion can result in death or serious
injury. Do not remove the transmitter covers in an
explosion-proof environment when the circuit is
powered. Both transmitter covers must be fully
engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.
