conductor cross-sections. The voltage at the terminals of the 
device may not fall below the minimum value required in 
accordance with the information on the name plate. 
 
The power supply is connected to terminal PWR + and PWR Æ, as 
stated on the name plate. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To connect the pressure transmitter, observe the following 
instructions: 
•  Lead the cable for the power supply and the Modbus 
connection into the terminal box. 
•  Lead the temperature sensor cable (if there is one) 
through the second cable entry and connect it to the 
designated terminals. 
•  Connect the cables in accordance with the electrical 
connection diagram. Connect the cable shields to the 
designated ground terminal in the terminal box. 
•  Connect the potential equalization (PE) on the ground 
terminal to the terminal box. 
•  Use wire end ferrules when connecting.
