Conduit Connections and
DRSCable
Apply a non-hardening sealant to the threads
to waterproof the transmitter cable conduit
connections.(Seegures5.6and5.7.)
2.7 Restrictions on Use of Radio
Transceivers
IMPORTANT
Although the transmitter has been designed to
resist high frequency electrical noise, if a radio
transceiver is used near the transmitter or its
externalwiring,thetransmittermaybeaected
by high frequency noise pickup. To test this, start
out from a distance of several meters and slowly
approach the transmitter with the transceiver
while observing the measurement loop for noise

2.8 Insulation Resistance and
Dielectric Strength Test
(1) Do not perform such tests more frequently than
is absolutely necessary. Even test voltages that
do not cause visible damage to the insulation
may degrade the insulation and reduce safety
margins.
(2) Never apply a voltage exceeding 100 V DC
for the insulation resistance test, nor a voltage
exceeding 100 V AC for the dielectric strength
test.
(3) Before conducting these tests, disconnect
all signal lines from the transmitter terminals.
The procedure for conducting these tests is as
follows:
■InsulationResistanceTest
1. Perform the insulation resistance test
separately for the high pressure side transmitter
(master) and low pressure side transmitter
(slave).
2. Remove the DRS cable from the high pressure
side transmitter (master) and low pressure side
transmitter (slave).
3.Short-circuitthe+and–SUPPLYterminalsin
the terminal box.
4. Turn OFF the insulation tester. Then connect
the insulation tester plus (+) lead wire to the
shortedSUPPLYterminalsandtheminus(–)
leadwire to the grounding terminal.
5. Turn ON the insulation tester power and
measure the insulation resistance. The voltage
shouldbeappliedasbrieyaspossibletoverify
thattheinsulationresistanceisatleast20MΩ.
6. After completing the test and being very careful
not to touch exposed conductors disconnect the
insulationtesterandconnecta100kΩresistor
between the grounding terminal and the short-
circuitingSUPPLYterminals.Leavethisresistor
connected at least one second to discharge any
static potential. Do not touch the terminals while
it is discharging.
7. Connect the DRS cable to the high pressure
side transmitter (master) and low pressure side
transmitter (slave).
■DielectricStrengthTest
1. Perform the dielectric strength test separately
for the high pressure side transmitter (master)
and low pressure side transmitter (slave).
2. Remove the DRS cable from the high pressure
side transmitter (master) and low pressure side
transmitter (slave).
3.Short-circuitthe+and–SUPPLYterminalsin
the terminal box.
4. Turn OFF the dielectric strength tester. Then
connect the tester between the shorted
SUPPLYterminalsandthegroundingterminal.
Be sure to connect the grounding lead of the
dielectric strength tester to the ground terminal.
5. Set the current limit on the dielectric strength
tester to 10mA, then turn ON the power and
graduallyincreasethetestvoltagefrom‘0’to
thespeciedvoltage.
6.Whenthespeciedvoltageisreached,holdit
for one minute.
7. After completing this test, slowly decrease the
voltage to avoid any voltage surges.
8. Connect the DRS cable to the high pressure
side transmitter (master) and low pressure side
transmitter (slave).
