You have to remove this plug before electrical connection.
NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it
is not possible to have the cable entry screwed in at the factory. The
cable gland is therefore covered with a red dust protection cap as
transport protection.
Note:
To ensure the housing protection class, you must replace this protec-
tive cap with an approved NPT cable gland before setup.
Note:
Do not use grease when screwing in the NPT cable gland or a conduit
steel pipe.

loaded terminals in the housing.

3. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind
plug
4. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
