To supply the conductivity transmitter with 24 V DC, a safety power supply unit (PSU), e.g. Siemens  

SITOP PSU100C 24V/0.6A, must be used; this must provide a level of isolation against dangerous  

contact voltages that at least meets the requirements for double or reinforced insulation as per  

DIN EN 50178 or DIN EN 61010-1 or DIN EN 60730-1 or DIN EN 60950 (electrically protective separa-

tion). The PSU must be equipped with a protective device to DIN EN 61010-1.

Tools

  Screwdriver, size 1

  Screwdriver, size 2.5, fully insulated to VDE 0680-1

Safety power supply unit for LRGT 16-1, LRGT 16-2, LRGT 17-1

Electrical connection  

Factory settings
