Connect the operating voltage according to the following diagrams. Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGAVIB 62 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic vessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of the instrument housing there is a ground terminal between the cable entries.
