3.2.6 Grounding and potential equalization

In order to obtain an accurate measurement, detector and fluid need to be on the
same electric potential.
If flange or intermediate flange versions with additional grounding electrode are used,
grounding is provided by the connected pipeline.
Caution: •
•
•
Detector protection class IP 68
Fluid temperature > 100 °C
Strong vibrations
Do not install the signal cable close to power cables, electric machines,
etc.
Fix signal cables. Due to capacity changes, cable movements may
result in incorrect measurements.
In case of a type with flange a connection cable (min. 4 mm²) between
grounding screw on the meter's flange to the counterflange is to be
used in addition to the fixing screws. Verify that a perfect electric
connection is provided.
Color or corrosion on the counterflange may have a negative effect on
the electric connection.
In case of types with intermediate flanges, the electric connection to
the detector is done via two ¼ AMP plugs installed on detector's neck.
