Voltage supply The voltage supply can be 20 … 253 V AC/DC, 50/60 Hz. Connection cable The voltage supply of VEGAMET 391 mit SIL-Qualifikation is con- nected with standard cable according to the national installation standards. To connect the sensors, standard two-wire cable can be used. If elec- tromagnetic interference is expected which is above the test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, screened cable should be used.
