2 connection procedure – VEGA VEGABOX 01 User Manual
Page 10

Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications.
If screened cable is necessary, connect the cable screen on
both ends to ground potential. In the VEGABOX 01 or
VEGADIS 12, 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 suppressed, but the protective effect against
high frequency interference signals remains.
In Ex applications, grounding on one sensor side is recom-
mended, see EN 60079-14.
5.2 Connection procedure
Proceed as follows:
1 Unscrew the housing cover
2 Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
3 Remove approx. 10 cm of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm insulation from the individual wires
4 Insert the cable into VEGABOX 01 through the cable entry
5 Loosen the screw terminals with a screwdriver
6 Insert the wire ends into the open terminals according to
the wiring plan
7 Tighten screw terminals again
8 Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly
pulling on them
9 Connect the screen to the ground terminal
10 Connect the ground terminal outside on the housing
according to specification (low impedance)
11 Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry. The seal
ring must completely encircle the cable
12 Screw the housing cover back on
The electrical connection is finished.
