3.2.9 Length of connecting cable
In order to ensure measuring accuracy, please comply with the following instructions when
installing the remote version:
• Secure the cable run or route the cable in an armored conduit. Movement of the cable can
falsify the measuring signal, particularly if the fluid conductivity is low.
• Route the cable well clear of electrical machines and switching elements.
• Ensure potential equalization between sensor and transmitter, if necessary.
• The permissible cable length L
max
depends on the fluid conductivity (→  16).
• The maximum connecting cable length is 10 m (32.8 ft) when empty pipe detection
(EPD →  125) is switched on.
