4Mounting
4.1General instructions
Select an installation position you can easily reach for
mounting and connecting as well as later retrofitting of an
indicating and adjustment module.The housing can be rotated
by 330°without the use of any tools.You can also install the
indicating and adjustment module in four different positions
(each displaced by 90°).
Mount the instrument at a place where there are as few
obstacles as possible between the emitter and receiver.Direct
intervisibility is the optimal precondition for the radio link.To
bypass possible obstacles,a remote antenna with a 3m cable
is optionally available for standard versions.
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to
power supply")and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against
moisture penetration by leading the connection cable down-
ward in front of the cable entry.Rain and condensation water
can thus drain off.This applies mainly to mounting outdoors,in
areas where moisture is expected (e.g.by cleaning processes)
or on cooled or heated vessels.

5Connecting to power supply
5.1Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
lConnect only in the complete absence of line voltage
lIf overvoltage surges are expected,overvoltage arresters
should be installed
In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
regulations,conformity and type approval certificates of the
sensors and power supply units.
Two power supply unit versions are available.You can find
detailed information on the power supply in chapter "Technical
data"in the "Supplement".
Power supply of PLICSRADIO T61 is connected with standard
cable according to the national installation standards.
Standard two-wire cable with screening can be used for
connecting the sensors.The screening is absolutely neces-
sary to ensure interference-free operation with HART sensors.
Connect the cable screen on both ends to ground potential.In
the sensor,the screen must be connected directly to the
internal ground terminal.The ground terminal on the outside of
the sensor housing must be connected to the potential
equalisation (low impedance).
If potential equalisation currents are expected,the screen
connection on the side of PLICSRADIO T61 must be made via
a ceramic capacitor (e.g.1nF,1500 V). The low frequency
potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed,but the
protective effect against high frequency interference signals
remains.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications.In particular,make sure that no potential equal-
isation currents flow over the cable screen.In case of
grounding on both sides this can be achieved by the use of a
capacitor or a separate potential equalisation.

Information:
Two-wire or four-wire instruments can be connected.In the
menu you can switch over between active (standard setting)
and passive operation of the measuring data input.The
connection assignment is the same for both modes.
lIn active mode,PLICSRADIO T61 provides the voltage
supply for the connected sensors.This mode is for
connection of pressure transmitters without separate
supply voltage (sensors in two-wire version).
lIn the passive mode,the sensors are not powered -only
the measured value is transmitted.This input is for sensors
with their own,separate power supply (sensors in four-wire
version). On a PLICSRADIO T61 in Ex version,the passive
input is not available for approval-technical reasons.
