3.12.1 Shortening the connecting cable
A recalibration must be performed before commissioning  ä 53
!
Note!
The maximum connection length between the probe and the separate housing is 6 m. When
ordering a device with a separate housing, the desired length must be specified.
If the connecting cable is to be shortened or guided through a wall, it must be disconnected at the
process connection. To do so, proceed as follows:
• Unscrew the pressing screw (1) using a 22mm open-end wrench. If necessary, hold the process
connection. In doing so, ensure that neither the connecting cable nor the probe is turned in the
process.
• Pull the insert seal (2) out of the cable gland (3).
• Using a 22mm open-end wrench, disconnect the cable gland (3) from the adapter disk. If
necessary, hold it against the adapter disk (6) using a 34mm open-end wrench.
• Disconnect the adapter disk (6) from the adapter bushing (18).
• Remove the snap ring with a snap ring pliers.
• Grip the nut (M6) on the blade plug with a pliers and pull out the blade plug.
• Then, shorten the connecting cable to the desired length.
• If the separate housing has to be mounted in a different room than the probe, you can now route
the connecting cable through the wall.
• You can now reassemble the device by following the reverse order of steps.
!
Note!
• If you shorten the connecting cable, we recommend reusing all strands with ring terminals.
• If the strands are not to be reused, the crimp connections of the new ring terminals attached must
be insulated with a heat-shrinking sleeve tube, for example (danger of short circuit).
• All soldered joints must be insulated. Use heat-shrinking sleeves to do so.
