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
outsideofthehousingmustbeconnectedtothepotentialequalisa-
tion(lowimpedance).
Ifpotentialequalisationcurrentsareexpected,theconnectiononthe
processing side must be made via a ceramic capacitor (e. g. 1 nF,
1500V).Thelow-frequencypotentialequalisationcurrentsarethus
suppressed,buttheprotectiveeectagainsthighfrequencyinterfer-
ence signals remains.

is grounded on both ends. To avoid this, the cable screen must be
connectedtogroundpotentialonlyononeend(insidetheswitch-
ing cabinet) in such applications. The cable screen must not be
connected to the internal ground terminal in the sensor and the outer
ground terminal on the housing nottopotentialequalisation!
Information:
The metallic parts of the instrument (antenna, transmitter, concen-
trictube,etc.)areconductivelyconnectedwiththeinnerandouter
ground terminal on the housing. This connection exists either as a
direct metallic contact or via the shielding of the special connection

5.2 Connection procedure
Proceedasfollows:
1. Unscrewthehousingcover
2. If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it by turn-
ing it to the left.
3. Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
4. Removeapprox.10cmofthecablemantle,stripapprox.1cm
