Remove cable entry plug(s) and fit cable gland(s) as required.
Detach the cover of the unit and the VGF-display, if fitted. (See pg. 35)
3 Guide the cable into the housing through the cable gland
4 Remove a 4 mm length of insulation from the wires and
cut away the free part of the shielding.
5 Connect the wires of the current loop to terminals 2 and 3 (any polarity).

Pull back the cable till a 10 cm cable length remains in the housing
behind the cable gland.
Tighten the cable gland on to the cable.
Check the connection of wires and the tightness of the cable gland.
Re-fit the VGF-display if applicable.
8 Arrange the wires in the housing and screw the cover on the housing.
The 500V AC insulation test should not be performed on the instrument
because of the overvoltage protection inside the electronics.
Connection to the EP network (grounding).
Screw type terminal (EP) on the housing max. cable cross-section:
4 mm².
The housing of the VF04 must be grounded. Grounding resistance R < 1
Ohm
The shield of the signal cable should be grounded only at the control
room.
Avoid coupling of electromagnetic noise by placing the signal cable away
from power-current cables.
Electrostatic discharge (E.S.D.)
VF04 2-wire non-Ex and Ex instrument electronics are shielded up to 4 kV against E.S.D.
Note: E.S.D. cannot be fully solved by the VF04 2-wire internal E.S.D. protection.
It is the customer’s responsibility to avoid E.S.D. by grounding the tank, product and probe installation.

D
ANGER OF INJURY
The probe may accumulate an electrostatic discharge during operation;
earth the probe by pushing it against tank wall with a suitably isolated tool
just before touching it to avoid receiving a shock.
2 Earth the entry pipe and product.
