Connecting protective earth (PE)
The protective earth conductor at the device must only be connected if the device' s
operating voltage is ≥ 35 V
When the device is used in hazardous areas, it must always be included in the potential
equalization of the system, irrespective of the operating voltage.
The plastic housing is available with or without an external protective earth
connection (PE). If the operating voltage of the electronic insert is < 35 V, the plastic
housing has no external protective earth connection.
