6  Electrical connection

The unit must only be connected by an electrician�

The national and international regulations for the installation of electrical 

equipment must be observed�

Voltage supply to EN50178, SELV, PELV�

Disconnect power before connecting the unit�

Wiring:

Core colours of ifm sockets:

1 = BN (brown), 2 = WH (white), 3 = BU (blue), 4 = BK (black)�

Programming of complementary outputs:

output 1: = Hno, output 2: = Hnc,

SP1 = SP2 / rP1 = rP2�

For safe function the sensor housing must be electrically connected to the 

vessel wall� 

To do so, use the housing connection with the blue cable lug (see scale 

drawing) and a cable piece with a wire cross-section of min� 1�5 mm² that 

is as short as possible�

When using metal tanks the electrical ground of the tank serves as the 

machine earth� When using plastic tanks an electrode has to be installed 

that is connected to the machine earth (e�g� sheet metal in the tank in 

parallel with the probe; min� distance to the probe: 40 mm�

EMC / CE guidelines
The level sensor conforms to the standard EN 50081-2 and it is a class A product� 

The unit may cause radio interference in domestic areas� Therefore the user may 

have to take appropriate measures, if necessary�
