Danger of explosion if the device is operated with the 
transmitter housing or terminal box open! 
While using the device in potentially explosive atmospheres 
before opening the transmitter housing or the terminal box, 
note the following points: 
•  A valid fire permit must be present. 
•  Make sure that no flammable or hazardous atmospheres

1.  Tighten the lock screw under the housing cover. 
2.  Unscrew the housing cover. 
3.  If available, pull out the LCD indicator carefully 
4.  Strip the sensor connection cable as shown and attach wire 
end sleeves.  
A line length of 190 mm should be ensured between the cable 
gland entry and the terminals. 140 mm should be stripped 
from the cable jacket along this length*. 
5.  Guide the sensor connection cable through the cable glands 
and into the housing. Then tighten the cable glands*. 
6.  Connect the wires as per the connection diagram. 
7.  If there is one, carefully insert the LCD indicator in the 
previous / required position. 
8.  Screw the housing cover back on. 
9.  Loosen the lock screw until the housing cover is firmly in 
place. 
*  If an increased electromagnetic interference emission is to be expected at 
the installation site, for increasing the interference immunity, we 
recommend stripping more than 140 mm (e.g. 143 mm) from the sensor 
cable. After inserting the sensor connection cable in the cable gland, pull 
back the cable from the stop by the relevant amount, then tighten the cable 
gland.
