4. WIRING
IMPORTANT
When optional code A (lighting protector) is
selected, the ground should satisfy Class C
requirements (grounding resistance, 10
or less).
• The protective grounding terminals
are located
on the inside and outside of the terminal area.
Either terminal may be used.
• Use 600 V vinyl insulation wires as the grounding
wires.

IMPORTANT
Improper grounding can have an adverse effect
on the flow measurement. Ensure that the
instrument is properly grounded.
The electromotive force of the magnetic flowmeter is
minute and it is easily affected by noise, and the
reference electric potential is the same as that of the
measuring fluid. Therefore, the reference electric
potential (terminal potential) of the flowtube and
converter also need to be the same as that of the
measuring fluid. Moreover, the potential must be the
same as the ground. The magnetic flowmeter is
equipped with an grounding ring that makes a connec-
tion with the charge of the measured fluid for ground-
ing and protects the lining. Be sure to ground the
flowmeter according to Figure 4.1.9.

Optional code A (lighting protector): Class C
requirements (ground resistance, 10
or less).
• TIIS Flameproof type: Class C requirements
(ground resistance, 10
or less) or class A
requirements (ground resistance, 10
or
less).
• Explosion proof type except TIIS: Domestic
electrical requirements as regulated in each
country.

WARNING
Before wiring with external instruments, be sure
to turn off the magnetic flowmeter and any
external instruments.
