.1 Preparing the connection

Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:

l

Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage

l

If voltage surges are expected, install overvoltage arresters

In this case, the instrument is designed in protection class II. To
maintain this protection class, it is absolutely necessary that the
ground conductor be connected to the internal ground terminal. Take
note of the general installation regulations.

Supply voltage and current output are carried on separate connection
cables if reliable separation is required. The supply voltage range can
differ depending on the instrument version.

The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".

In this case, the instrument is designed in protection class II. Generally
connect the instrument to vessel ground (potential equalization) or with
plastic vessels to the next ground potential. For this purpose, a ground
terminal is located laterally on the instrument housing.

An approved, three-wire installation cable with PE conductor is
required for voltage supply with mains voltage.

The 4 … 20 mA current output is connected with standard two-wire
cable without screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected
which is above the test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas,
screened cable should be used.

Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 … 9 mm
(0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable gland. If you are
using cable with a different diameter or cross-section, exchange the
seal or use a suitable cable gland.

With plastic housing, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube
must be screwed without grease into the threaded insert.

Max. torque for all housings see chapter "Technical data"

If screened cable is necessary, connect the cable screen on both ends
to ground potential. In the sensor, the screen must be connected
directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal on the
outside of the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation
(low impedance).
