1. To minimize ground loop problems, connect earth ground and system common only at
the 1900/65A or other single point ground. For I.S. installations using external barriers,
disconnect single point earth system connection by removing the jumper located inside
the 1900/65A monitor under the protective cap. For intrinsically safe (I.S.) external
barrier installations, system common to barrier I.S. ground impedance must not exceed
1.

2. Wire gauge and type selected per local code requirements. Power terminals can accept
12AWG maximum.
Power Input requirements: 18-36 Vdc, 1.0A Maximum
Must follow Division 2 / Zone 2 wiring methods.
3. Install the 1900/65A only in a housing that is acceptable with the local authority having
jurisdiction for Division 2 / Zone 2 installations. See the appendix for more housing
requirements.
4. Do not connect or disconnect the buffered outputs except when de-energized or area is
known to be non-hazardous.

4. Temperature channel wiring recommendations:

1900/65A to Thermocouple - Thermocouple extension cable must be of the same

type as thermocouple. Recommended positive (RP) and negative (RN) extension
wire gauge for proper operation. See table 1.1. Note that signal terminals on
1900/65A monitor will accept a 16AWG maximum conductor.

2. Connect shields to I.S. earth at barrier ground. Continuity between the shield of the field
wiring from the hazardous area and the I.S. earth should be verified.
3. External barriers installed in a safe area must be approved.
4. Refer to table 5.2 in the appendix for external barrier parameters.
5. Wiring recommendations: 1900/65A to barrier and barrier to standard Bently Nevada
transducer use 16 to 22 AWG twisted shielded pair or triad with stranded conductors
and insulating sheath. Cable length is not to exceed 1000 ft [305m].
6. Each channel is a separate I.S. circuit and must be wired separately from other
channels. Use a separate screened cable for each channel or a cable containing wiring
for many channels with each cable separated from other channel wiring by an earthed
screen.
7. Temperature channels may be connected to unapproved thermocouples or RTDs
located in a Class I Division 1 Groups A,B,C,D; Class II Division 1 Groups E,F,G; and
Class III Division 1 areas when connected through the safety barriers recommended in
table 5.2 or equivalent. For Division 1 / Zone 0 or Zone 1, non-grounded thermocouples
or RTDs are required.

8. Separate all I.S. wiring from non-I.S. wiring by a minimum of 2 in [50 mm]. When
installing systems over one another, take care to ensure separation of I.S. and non-I.S.
wiring.

monitor and the single point ground jumper as shown in figure 1.1 should be installed.
3. Galvanic isolators installed in a safe area must be approved.
4. Refer to table 5.3 in the appendix for galvanic isolator parameters.
5. Wiring recommendations: 1900/65A to galvanic isolator and galvanic isolator to
standard Bently Nevada transducer use 16 to 22 AWG twisted shielded pair or triad
with stranded conductors and insulating sheath. Cable length is not to exceed 1000 ft
[305m].
6. Each channel is a separate I.S. circuit and must be wired separately from other
