Overvoltage protection
If the measuring instrument is used for the level measurement in flammable liquids which requires
the use of an overvoltage protection according to DIN EN 60079-14, standard for testprocedures
DIN IEC 60060-1 (10 kA, Puls 8/20 μs) it has to be ensured that
• the measuring instrument with integrated overvoltage protection with gas discharge tubes within
the T12-enclosure is used, refer to product overview on → ä 8
or
• this protection is achieved by the use of other appropriate measures (external protection
instruments e.g. HAW262Z).

Recommended connection

For maximum EMC protection please observe the following points:
• The external ground terminal on the transmitter must be connected to ground.
• The continuity of the cable screening between tapping points must be ensured.
• If potential equalisation is present between the individual grounding points, ground the screening
at each cable end or connect it to the instrument housing (as short as possible).
• If there are large differences in potential between grounding points, the grounding should run via
a capacitor that is suitable for high frequency use (e.g. ceramic 10 nF/250 V&).
Caution!
Applications, which are subject to the explosion prevention, permit only under special conditions
the repeated grounding of the protective screen , see to EN 60 079-14..
4.4

Degree of protection

• with closed housing tested according to
– IP68, NEMA6P (24 h at 1.83 m under water surface)
– IP66, NEMA4X
• with open housing: IP20, NEMA1 (also ingress protection of the display)
4.5

Post-connection check

After wiring the measuring instrument, perform the following checks:
• Is the terminal assignment correct (→ ä 27 and → ä 28)?
• Is the cable gland tight?
• Is the FOUNDATION Fieldbus connector screwed tight?
• Is the housing cover screwed tight?
• If power is supplied:
Is the instrument ready for operation and is the LCD display lit?
