Observe the following items when routing cables:
A magnet coil cable (red and brown) is run parallel to the signal lines (violet and blue). As a
result, only one cable is required between the sensor and the transmitter. Do not run the
cable over junction boxes or terminal blocks
The signal cable carries a voltage signal of only a few millivolts and therefore must be routed
the shortest distance possible. The max. allowable signal cable length is 50 m (164 ft)
(without pre-amplifier) and 200 m (656 ft) (with pre-amplifier).
Avoid routing the cable in the vicinity of electrical equipment or switching elements that can
create stray fields, switching pulses and induction. If this is not possible, run the
signal/magnet coil cable through a metal pipe and connect this to the station ground.
All leads must be shielded and connected to earth ground.
To shield against magnetic interference, the cable contains outer shielding that is attached to
the SE clamp.
The supplied steel wire is also connected to the SE clamp.
Do not damage the sheathing of the cable during installation.
Make sure during installation that the cable
is provided with a water trap (1). For vertical
installation, align the cable glands pointing
downward.
