If potential equalisation currents are expected, the connection

on the processing side must be made via a ceramic capacitor

(e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low frequency potential equalisation

currents are thus suppressed, but the protective effect against

high frequency interference signals remains.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex

applications. In particular, make sure that no potential equal-

isation 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 steps

Proceed as follows:
1 Unscrew the housing cover
2 Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
3 Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle (current

output), strip approx. 1 cm (0.4 in) insulation from the ends

of the individual wires

4 Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
5 Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a screwdriver
6 Insert the wire ends into the open terminals according to

the wiring plan

7 Press the opening lever of the terminals downward, you will

hear the terminal spring closing

8 Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly

pulling on them

9 Connect the screen to the internal ground terminal and the

external ground terminal to potential equalisation

10 Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry, the seal

ring must completely encircle the cable

11 Connect the lead cable for power supply in the same way

acc. to the wiring plan, in addition connect the ground

conductor to the inner ground terminal.

12 Screw the housing cover back on
The electrical connection is hence finished.
