This can lead to unacceptably high shield currents if the cable shield
is grounded at both ends.
Information:
The metallic parts of the instrument (process fitting, transmitter, con-
centric tube, etc.) are conductively connected with the inner and outer
ground terminal on the housing. This connection exists either directly
via connecting metallic parts or, in case of instruments with external
electronics, via the screen of the special connection cable.
You can find specifications on the potential connections inside the
instrument in chapter "Technical data".
5.2 Connecting
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing.
The connection to the display and adjustment module or to the inter-
face adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.
Information:
The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the
electronics. To do this, lift the terminal block with a small screwdriver
and pull it out. When reinserting the terminal block, you should hear it
snap in.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing cover
2. If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it by turn-
ing it slightly to the left.
3. Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
4. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
