3 Mounting

3.1 General instructions for use of the instrumentProtect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following measures:

• Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connecting to power supply")

• Tighten the cable gland• Whenmountinghorizontally,turnthehousingsothatthecable

gland points downward• Loop the connection cable downward in front of the cable gland

Thisappliesmainlytooutdoorinstallations,inareaswherehumidityisexpected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled or heated vessels.

3.2 Ventilation and pressure compensationThefilterelementismountedintotheelectronicshousing.Ithasthefollowing functions:

• Ventilation of the electronics housing• Atmospheric pressure compensation (with relative pressure meas-

uring ranges)

→ Turnthehousingsothatthefilterelementpointsdownwardafterthe instrument is installed. This provides better protection against buildup.

4 Connecting to power supply

4.1 ConnectingThe voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-loaded terminals in the housing.Connection to the display and adjustment module or to the interface adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.

Information:The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the electronics.Todothis,lifttheterminalblockwithasmallscrewdriverandpullitout.Whenreinsertingtheterminalblock,youshouldhearitsnap in.

Proceed as follows:1. Unscrew the housing lid2. Ifadisplayandadjustmentmoduleisinstalled,removeitbyturn-

ing it slightly to the left.3. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind

plug4. Removeapprox.10cm(4in)ofthecablemantle,stripapprox.
