WARNING
Improper handling
The sensor connected to this device can be operated with high pressure and corrosive media.
Therefore improper handling of the device can lead to serious injuries and/or considerable
material damage.
The device is optionally provided with a preformed cable terminated with M12 style stainless
steel weather-proof plugs.
The cable shield is physically and electrically terminated within the body of the plug.
Take care when handling the cable and passing it through cable ducting. The plug is not
subjected to excessive tension (pulling) as the internal connections may be disengaged.
Note
Never pull the cable by the plug.
1. Connect the device using the supplied 4-wire cable with M12 plug.
Note
Grounding
The sensor cable screen is electrically connected to chassis, only when the M12 plug is
correctly tightened.
