Figure 26:  Grounding connections 
 
 
Ground the stainless steel model as shown in the figure. The 
measuring medium is grounded via the adapter 
1 and 
additional grounding is not required. 
 
 
Ground for devices with protection plates 
 
The protection plates are used to protect the edges of the meter 
tube liner, e.g. for abrasive media. In addition, they function as a 
grounding plate.  
•  For plastic protection plates or piping with an insulating 
liner, electrically connect in the same manner as a 
grounding plate. 
 
 
Grounding with conductive PTFE grounding plate 
 
Grounding plates made of conductive PTFE are optionally 
available for nominal diameter ranges of DN 10 to 250.  
These are installed similar to conventional grounding plates.
