4.5 Grounding connections
The grounding can be done either by connecting the PE (Protective Earth) terminal in the
housing or the PE terminal on the connection piece between flow sensor and signal converter.
Both of these electrical connections are equally effective from a technical point of view.

CAUTION!
The measuring device has to be grounded properly to achieve accurate measurement. The
grounding wire may not transfer any interference voltage.
Do not use this grounding cable to ground any other electrical devices.
