For accurate measurement, install the transmitter at a location where liquid level and 

temperature fluctuations are minimal

Sealed Container Level Measurement: Single Flange Level Transmitter 

Use a single flange diaphragm system for sealed container level measurement. Increase 

the isolation tank and multiple shut-off valves. Periodically open the drain/vent valve to 

clear off the residual gas and liquid in the guiding pressure tube for higher accuracy.

Electrical Connections 

This section covers all electrical connection requirement. Electrical connection of the device 
must be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorized to perform such work by the 
installation site. 

 

WARNING 

 

Connect all electrical cables when the power is switched off. If the device does not 

have switch-off elements, then, overcurrent protection devices, lightning 

protection and/or energy isolating devices must be provided by the customer. 

 

The device must be grounded to a spot in accordance with regulations to protect 

personnel against electric shocks. 

 

 

NOTE 

 

When using the measuring device in hazardous areas, installation must comply 

with the corresponding national standards and regulations and the Safety 

Instructions or Installation or Control Drawings. 

 

 

4.1

 

Grounding of Measuring Device 

 

Ensure proper grounding at control cabinet and pressure transmitter. 

 

Ground terminals are provided on the either sides (inside and outside) of the terminal 

box. Either one of these terminals may be used for grounding the transmitter. 

 

Use shielded twisted pair cable to avoid ground loops. 

 

Use internal ground terminals for direct grounding.
