3-7. Sensor wiring
Refer to figure 3-10, which includes drawings
that outline sensor wiring.
The EXAxt 450 can be used with a wide range
of commercially available sensor types, both
from Yokogawa and other manufacturers. The
sensor systems from Yokogawa fall into two
categories; the ones that use a fixed cable and
the ones with separate cables.
To connect sensors with fixed cables, simply
match the terminal numbers in the instrument with
the identification numbers on the cable ends.
The separate sensors and cables are not num-
bered, but instead use a color-coding system.
The electrodes have a colored band incorpo-
rated in the label on the connection cap:
• Red formeasuringelectrodes(bothpH
andORP)
• Yellow forreferenceelectrodes
• Blue forcombinedsensorswithboth
measuring and reference elements
in the same body
• Green fortemperaturesensors
The recommended procedure is to color-code
each end of the cables to match the sensors
with the color strips provided with each cable.
This provides a quick way to identify the ends
of the cables belonging to a particular sensor
when they are installed.
3-7-1. Connection cable
The coaxial cable has two connections.
• Red tomeasuringelement
• Blue toscreen(shield)
The triaxial cable has three connections, (it has
an extra white wire termination) these wires are
connected:
• Red tomeasuringelement
• Blue toreference
• White toscreen(shield)
To connect the other sensor systems, follow the
general pattern of the terminal connections as
listed below:
