Installing The Cable Conduits; Installing The Supervisory Link Cable - GE Hydran 201 i Instruction Manual

Chapter 8 • Hydran 201Ci-1 Installation
8.3.3

Installing the Cable Conduits

Note the following considerations prior to installing:
• All cables connected to the Hydran 201Ci-1 must be run through steel conduits.
Otherwise, armored cables can be used.
• Flexible rather than rigid conduits should be used near the H201Ci-1 to ease installation
and servicing.
• Conduits, or cable armors, should be made of steel to shield against magnetic fields.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Remove the rubber plugs from the required openings of the H201Ci-1 enclosure.
2. For each cable being used, install a standard watertight conduit fitting (not supplied).
Up to six conduits may be installed (supervisory link, ac power supply, alarms and
analog outputs).
3. Mount a conduit to each fitting.
4. Ground the conduits and/or cable shields at some point. Follow the company
regulations meticulously.
8.3.4

Installing the Supervisory Link Cable

Note: The supervisory link cable has already been run into a conduit up to the
Hydran 201Ci-1 if the installation of the Hydran 201Ti is completed (see Section 6.3.9 on
page 6-26).
1. If required, trim the excess length from the end of the supervisory link cable from the
H201Ti.
Note: The total maximum length of the supervisory link cable connected to a H201Ci-1 is
1,200 m (4,000 ft).
2. Ensure the six wires have been labelled (for identification purposes) at both ends.
3. Connect the cable wires and shield to the H201Ci-1's termination board. For wiring
details, see Table D-11 on page D-8.
