• Use only original gaskets. They must be clean and free of any damage. Defective gaskets must

be replaced.

• The electrical cables used must be undamaged and must comply with regulations.
• The cables must be laid with a loop 1 upstream of the measuring device to prevent water

from getting into the housing.

• The cable feedthroughs 2 must be tightened.
• Align the measuring device so that the cable feedthrough is never facing up 3.
• Close the unused cable feedthroughs using blind plugs 4.
• Do not remove the required cable bushing from the cable feedthrough.
