Installing the connection cables
General information on cable installation
Ensure that a drip loop (water trap) is used when installing the
connecting cables for the sensor.
When mounting the sensor vertically, position the cable entries
at the bottom.
If necessary, rotate the transmitter housing accordingly.

Recommended cables
It is recommended to use an ABB signal cable for standard
applications. The ABB signal cable fulfills the above-mentioned
cable specification and can be utilized unrestrictedly up to an
ambient temperature of T
amb.
= 80 °C (176 °F).
