3.2 IP enclosure rating
IP68 - IP67 enclosure
rating
The meter is rated IP68/NEMA 6P from the
factory as standard. If cable glands are used,
the IP68/NEMA 6P enclosure rating can be
obtained by potting the transmitter bottom with
Sylgard potting kit. Otherwise only an IP67/
NEMA 4 rating is obtained.
To ensure the IP68/NEMA 6P enclosure rating,
follow these steps:
1.
Select the proper gland size to fit the in-
stalled cable size.
2.
O-ring is properly and correctly mounted
and greased with gel.
3.
Sylgard potting kit is filled in the bottom part
of the casing.
4.
If nessesary renew the Silicagel bag to
prevent condensation within the meter.
Note
Make sure
not
to fill Sylgard potting kit in the
space for the battery pack.
Cable installation
Choose the correct glands for the selected cable type, see section 9.1 „Accessories“ for glands
selection. Make sure the shield is mounted under the cable clamps - do
not
make pig tails.
The mains or line powered PUR cable (no shield) has to be mounted under the cable clamps.
All cable glands have to be sufficiently tightened to ensure the IP-rating.
