Installation instructions display electronics
Compact version (standard):
For the compact version the display electronics housing is mounted on the sensor. Therefore no
cable is necessary between sensor and display electronics.
Remote version (optional):
The display electronics needs to be mounted separately from the sensor if:
the mounting area is difficult to access or there is a lack of space,
medium and ambient temperatures are extremely high,
there is strong vibration.
The display electronics has to be mounted free of vibrations!
Make sure that the cables are properly installed at high humidity and wet conditions.
The electrode cable must be fixed. If the conductivity of the medium is low, cable movements
may change the capacity considerably and thus disturb the measuring signal.
Do not lay the cables close to electrical machines and switching elements.
Equipotential bonding must be ensured between sensor and display electronics.
IMPORTANT! Pay attention to the maximum cable length!
For the separate version, the minimum permissible conductivity of the medium is determined by
the distance between the sensor and the display electronics.
The maximum cable length to ensure accuracy is 200 m (p. 19 "Connecting cables").
