5. Installation of sensor
To obtain optimum results from the measuring system, the chassis body of the sensor must have
the same electrical potential as the liquid being measured.

A: Potential equalization with electri-
cally conductive graphite gaskets
Electrically
non-conductive
piping
C: Potential equalization with electri-
cally conductive graphite gaskets
DKFD.PS.027.W3.02
EPDM or PTFE gaskets
B: Potential equalization using earth
strap supplied.
D: Potential equalization using sepa-
rate potential equalization ring
The sensor must be installed between two adap-
ters. Potential equalization with the liquid oc-
curs automatically via these adapters and
through the adjacent pipe.
Potential equalization is carried out with the
built-in earthing electrodes. No further action
need to be taken.
