Cable entries
The electrical connection is made via cable entries with a ½ 
in-NPT or M20 × 1.5 thread.
Devices with a M20 × 1.5 or ½ in-NPT thread are equipped 
with protective plugs.
The black protective plugs in the cable glands are intended to 
provide protection during transport.Any unused cable entries 
must be sealed with sealing plugs before commissioning in 
accordance with the applicable national standards.
•  Observe maximum torque of 3.3 ft.lb (4.5 Nm) when 
tightening the M20 cable gland.
•  Make sure that the cable outer dimension used will fit the 
clamping range of the cable gland.

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.

NOTICE
Condensate formation in terminal box!
If the flowmeter sensor is permanently connected to 
cable conduits, there is a possibility that moisture may 
get into the terminal box as a result of condensate 
formation in the cable conduit.
•  Make sure that the cable conduits on the terminal 
box are sealed.
