You have to remove this plug before electrical connection.

NPT thread

In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it 
is not possible to have the cable entry screwed in at the factory. The 
cable gland is therefore covered with a red dust protection cap as 
transport protection.

Note:

To ensure the housing protection class, you must replace this pro-
tective cap with an approved NPT cable gland before setup.

Note:

Do not use grease when screwing in the NPT cable gland or a 
conduit steel pipe.

Maximum torque see chapter " Technical data". 

We recommend to connect the cable screening to ground potential 
at one end on the supply side when using shielded cable.

Metric threads

In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable 
gland is screwed in at the factory. It is sealed with plastic plugs as 
transport protection.
You have to remove this plug before electrical connection.

Maximum torque see chapter " Technical data". 

 Connecting

The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing.

Proceed as follows:
1.  Unscrew the housing lid
2.  If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it
