Using the TELEFAST Wiring Accessory
Original instructions
Introduction
The TELEFAST pre-wired system consists of connecting cables and interface sub-bases as shown below:
1 
BMEAHO0412 module
2 
BMXFCA••0 connecting cables
3 
Interface sub-base ABE7CPA21
4 
Shield bar
5 
Clamp
BMXFCA••0 Connecting Cables
The BMXFCA••0 cables are pre-assembled cord set, made up of:
The figure below shows the BMXFCA••0 cables:
1 
BMXFTB2020 Terminal block
2 
Cable shielding
3 
25-pin Sub-D connector
L 
Length according to the part number.
The cable comes in 2 different lengths:

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Confirm that the strap for the ABE7CPA21 is removed.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTE: The grounding of cables is facilitated using the ABE7BV•0 wiring accessory.
BMEAHO0412 with 2-Wire or 4-Wire Transmitter, TELEFAST Connector
This example illustrates how to connect the output module to either a 2-wire or a 4-wire transmitter using a TELEFAST wiring accessory and cable. The cable includes a 20-pin terminal block. Field power is supplied to the transmitter only for the 4-wire design.
1 
2-wire or 4-wire transmitter
2 
4-20 mA current loop, with arrows indicating direction of current flow
3 
Field power supply (for 4-wire design only)
4 
Protective ground
5 
Secondary HART master (hand-held)
HART Network Cable Characteristics and Lengths
The HART Communication Foundation has developed documentation describing recommended types and diameters of cable for HART networks. This documentation also includes instructions on how to calculate maximum cable lengths for a HART network.
To obtain a copy of this documentation, visit the HART Communication Foundation website at www.hartcomm.org, and download the document FSK Physical Layer Specification (document number HFD_SPEC-054). HART network cable characteristics and lengths information can be found at section 7.5 of this document.
