10.1 Installation conditions and cable glands

The integral mount version of the CT transmitter in the SG1 housing is to be installed in accordance with
Section 3.5.1 Installation on page 18. If the CT transmitter is installed separately, a vibration-free installa-
tion site must be ensured.

Warning:
Additional cable glands:
They are not contained in the scope of supply. The operator is responsible for
the fact that according to the enclosure and ignition enclosure certified cable
glands or screws are used. The kind of the thread is stamped on the rating
plate.
At the connection between sensor and transmitter a metalized cable gland
must be used for the screen.

Ingress protection IP 68 is only achieved if suitable and tightly screwed down
cable glands or conduit are used. If the cable glands are only tightened manu-
ally water may leak into the terminal compartment in the housing.
