Connecting the extension cable
Normally the line length does not influence the functional efficiency of the sensors. However, the
manufacturer recommends not extending the connection cable of the junction box beyond a maximum
length of 100 m. Extension cable as well as cable plug and cable box are available as accessories from
the manufacturer.
1. Solder cable plug to the sensor cable.
2. Solder cable box to the extension cable
3. Connect sensor cable and extension cable.
4. Connect extension cable in accordance with the connection circuit diagram.
