3.1 Connection instructions
Note
Switch off the power supply before starting
connection work.
Connect the supply voltage according to the
following connection diagrams.
A multimeter can be connected to terminals 3
and 4 for setup. This connection is not suitable
for an indicating instrument.
Note
If strong electromagnetic interference is ex-
pected, we recommend using screened ca-
ble. The screening of the cable should only be
earthed on one end, i.e. the sensor end (elec-
trode).
Always connect the electrode to vessel
ground (PA). For this purpose there is a termi-
nal on the side of the housing. This connection
is also used to supply the ground reference
potential as well as to drain off electrostatic
charges.

Note
The oscillator is independent of the electrode
and can be exchanged on site.
