5.1 Preparing the connection

Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
l
In hazardous areas you must take note of the respective regulations,
conformity and type approval certificates of the sensors and power
supply units.
Connect the operating voltage according to the connection diagrams.
The electronics module VB60C is designed in protection class I. To
maintain this protection class, it is absolutely necessary that the earth
conductor is connected to the inner earth conductor terminal. Keep the
general installation regulations in mind. Take note of the correspond-
ing installation regulations for hazardous areas with Ex applications.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
The instrument is connected with standard three-wire cable without
screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the
test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, screened cable should be
used.
Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 ... 9 mm
(0.2 ... 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable gland. If you are
using cable with a different diameter or cross-section, exchange the
seal or use a suitable cable gland.
In hazardous areas, only use approved cable connections for VEGAVIB
63.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications.
Cover all housing openings conforming to standard according to
EN 60079-1.

5.2 Connection procedure

With Ex instruments, the housing cover may only be opened if there is
no explosive atmosphere present.
Proceed as follows:
1
Unscrew the housing cover
2
Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
3 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
4
Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
