Recommended Wiring for System Signals 
The recommended wiring is a 17-conductor shielded cable containing 
twisted-pair wires with individual shields. Use a wire size large enough to 
accommodate the installation and provide a maximum fifty (50) ohm loop 
resistance. See Table 1-6 for recommended wire sizes.

Table 1-6.  Wire Size for HFG2.0 Signal Harness 
Note: Use a separate conduit for the signal wiring. This prevents 
noise pickup and transmission from ancillary equipment, 
which could cause instability in the actuator. If conduit is not 
used, signal wires should be at least 4-6 inches from any 
other wires. 
Ensure that all shielded cables are twisted conductor pairs with either a 
foil or braided shield. PECC recommends Belden 8719 shielded twisted-
pair audio, broadcast and instrumentation cable. All signal lines should be 
shielded to prevent picking up stray signals. Connect shields as shown in 
Figure 1-12. Wire exposed beyond the shield should be as short as 
possible. 
 
CAUTION 
This valve is 89/339/EEC EMC Directive compliant (CE mark) using 
watertight, flexible conduit (plastic over steel) and Belden 8719 
shielded, twisted pair-audio, broadcast and instrumentation cable. 
Use of other conduit or wire invalidates EMC Directive compliance. 
Do not connect 24 VDC power without current limiting (25 mA) 
across digital or analog outputs.
