f potential equalisation currents are expected, the connection on the
processing side must be made via a ceramic capacitor (e. g. 1 nF,
1500 V). T
he low frequency potential equalisation currents are thus
suppressed, but the protective effect against high frequency interfer-
ence signals remains.
T
ake note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications. In particular, make sure that no potential equalisation
currents flow over the cable screen. In case of grounding on both sides
this can be achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate potential
equalisation.
5.2 Connection procedure
Warning:
B
efore connecting to voltage supply, the plug connection between
transducer and remote electronics must be provided in idle condition
(
see illustration below). Non-observance will damage the electronics!
