Route the Ethernet cable through the cable gland for Ethernet
cables into the sender unit. Establish a safe contact between
the shield of the signal cable and the cable gland.
▸
Uncover the outer shield of the Ethernet cable
(approx. 10 mm) in the area of the cable gland.
▸
Insert the Ethernet cable until the uncovered shield has
reached the contact position.
3
Screw the cable gland gas-tight.

Connect the Ethernet cable with the connection module.
see “Handling the connection
module”, page 33
5
Place the finished connection module on the hat rail.
6
