5.2 External Device Connections and Grounding
The terminal board connections of LF516/LF546 Flowmeter are shown in Figure 5.1. Proceed with wiring
as described in Section 5.4, "Wiring Procedure."

* Use a heavy copper braid or wire (cross-sectional area 5.5 mm
and make it as short as possible as shown in Figure 5.1 for grounding.
Also, Avoid a common ground where earth current may flow. (An independent ground is
preferable.)
* The converter has no power switch. Install the power switch at the system side. Be sure to use a
double-pole/single-throw (both disconnection) wiring breaker.
NOTE:
• When 3-core power cabel is used, do
not ground from the external
grounding terminal.(Perform grouding
at the receving side only).
• Only when a 2-core power cable is
used, perform grounding from the
external grounding terminal.
