4.4 Earthing and equipotential bonding
For compact measuring devices and measuring sections with flange connections, the connection
may be made via a conducting connection of the sensor to the pipe. For compact measuring
devices and "sandwich" type measuring sections, a separate wire must be provided to connect to
the equipotential bonding. This wire is connected to the outer PA terminal.
Remote systems can either be included in the equipotential bonding via the PA connection in the
converter's terminal compartment or via the external PA connection on the wall bracket.
