Grounding the transmitter

Improper grounding could cause measurement error.
To reduce the risk of measurement error:
Ground the transmitter to earth, or follow ground network requirements for the
facility.
For hazardous area installations in Europe, refer to standard EN 60079-14 if
national standards do not apply.
If national standards are not in effect, follow these transmitter grounding guidelines:
Use copper wire, 14 AWG (2,5 mm
Keep all ground leads as short as possible, less than 1 Ω impedance.
Connect ground leads directly to earth, or follow plant standards.
