Electric connections in the ATEX system
The electric connections are done in two junction boxes between the receiver and the
transmitter and in one junction box connecting the customer cable. The connections inside
the unit housings are done in the factory before delivery and work here can only be done by
certified technicians.
The tables below illustrate the connections in the main junction box providing all in- and
output connectors to the SITRANS SL. The terminals as well as their assignment are
described in chapter Screw terminals (Page 48) .
