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 interfer-
ence signals remains.
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).
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

ence signals remains.
5 .2 Connect
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing.
The connection to the indicating and adjustment module or to the
interface adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.
Proceed as follows:
1 Unscrew the housing cover
2 If an indicating and adjustment module is installed, remove it by
turning 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
