Sensor
To obtain optimum results from the measuring system, the chassis body of the sensor must have
the same electrical potential as the liquid being measured.

A: Potential equalization with electri-
cally conductive graphite gaskets
B: Potential equalization using earth
strap supplied.

MAG 1100 FOOD
The sensor must be installed between two adap-
ters. Potential equalization with the liquid oc-
curs automatically via these adapters and
through the adjacent pipe.

(except PTFE liner)
Potential equalization is carried out with the
built-in earthing electrodes. No further action
need to be taken.
