WARNING
National requirements
Observe country-specific installation directives for field wiring.
Cable specifications
• Only use cables with at least the same degree of protection as the sensor to install the sensor.
• The line length from the cable gland to the terminals must be kept as short as possible. Line
loops in the terminal box must be avoided.
• To guarantee the IP67 degree of protection, use cables with the required specifications.
