Wiring
!
CAUTION: Risk of Property Damage.
Do not apply power to the system before checking
all wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly
connected wires may result in permanent damage to
the equipment.
MISE EN GARDE: Risque de dégâts matériels.
Ne pas mettre le système sous tension avant d'avoir
vérifié tous les raccords de câblage. Des fils formant
un court-circuit ou connectés de façon incorrecte
risquent d'endommager irrémédiablement
l'équipement.
IMPORTANT: Make all wiring connections in
accordance with local, national, and regional
regulations.
Under normal conditions, shielding is unnecessary
when wiring between TE-6000 elements and
temperature controllers. If routing the wiring through
electrically noisy environments (such as motor control
centers, relay panels, or lighting panel boards), using
shielded cable may be necessary to minimize the
effects of transient voltages and other electromagnetic
interference sources.
Connected components may operate incorrectly or fail
as a result of induced transient voltages. Do not
combine wiring with any relay, motor, frequently
interrupted control circuit, or frequently switched
lighting load. (See Figure 2 for typical wiring
diagrams.)

Figure 2: Typical Wiring for Averaging
Temperatures at Multiple Locations
When using the temperature elements with controllers,
use separate conduit under the following conditions:
• where line voltage switched power is present
• with switched loads of 50 VA or more
• when element wiring and AC power wiring exceed
300 ft (91 m) to avoid AC pickup, which may
disrupt proper controller operation
