4.4 Grounding and equipotential bonding
In the case of compact flowmeters and measuring units with flange connections, the flow sensor
is conductively connected to the pipeline. For compact flowmeters and "sandwich" type
measuring units, a separate conductor connected either to the internal or external PA terminal
must be provided to connect to the equipotential bonding.
For remote systems with pressure sensor, the connection of the flow sensor can either be made
via the PA connection in the converter's terminal compartment or via the external PA
connection.
