Figure 31: Plastic pipes, non-metallic pipes or pipes with insulating liner
For plastic pipes or pipes with insulating lining, the grounding of
the measuring medium is provided by the grounding plate as
shown in the figure below or via grounding electrodes that must
be installed in the device (option).
If grounding electrodes are used, the grounding plate is not
necessary.
1.
Install the sensor with grounding plate in the piping.
2.
Connect the terminal lug of the grounding plate and ground
connection on the sensor using the grounding strap.
3.
Use a copper wire with at least 2.5 mm
2
(14 AWG)) to
establish a connection between the ground connection and a
suited grounding point.
