STB ART 0200 Field Wiring
Summary The STB ART 0200 module uses two six-terminal field wiring connectors. Analog
sensor 1 is wired to the top connector, and analog sensor 2 is wired to the bottom
connector. The choices of connectors and field wire types are described below, and
some field wiring options are presented.
Connectors Use a set of either:
z two STB XTS 1100 screw type field wiring connectors (available in a kit of 20)
z two STB XTS 2100 spring clamp field wiring connectors (available in a kit of 20)
These connectors each have six terminal connectors on them, with a 3.8 mm
(0.15 in) pitch between each pin.
Field Sensors The STB ART 0200 allows each channel to be independently configured to support
an RTD, a TC sensor or a mV sensor. An RTD may be a two-, three-, or four-wire
sensor. TC and mV sensors must be two-wire devices.
If you are using channel 1 to support an RTD sensor, then do not use channel 2 for
an externally cold-junction-compensated TC sensor. All other device combinations
are valid.
Field Wire
Requirements
Individual connector terminals accept one field wire. Use wire sizes in the range
0.51 ... 1.29 mm (24 ... 16 AWG).
z Shielded twisted-pair cable is recommended. The shield should be tied to an
external clamp that is tied to functional earth on only one side of the cable and as
close as possible to the module. Pin 6 (cable shield) should have no connection.
z In high-noise environments, double-shielded twisted-pair cable is recommended,
with the inner shield tied to pin 6 and the outer shield tied to an external clamp
that is tied to protective earth.
We recommend that you strip at least 9 mm from the wire’s jacket for the module
connection.
