‣
A standard device cable suffices if only the analog signal should be used. Use a shielded
cable if working with a superimposed communication signal (HART).
Protective circuits against reverse polarity, RF influences and overvoltage peaks are
integrated in the device.
Operation via handheld terminal or PC with operating program: take minimum
communication resistance of 250 Ω and maximum load into consideration
• Superimposed communication signal (HART): use a shielded cable
• Analog signal: use a standard installation cable
• For other connections: use Commubox FXA291 or Field Xpert

Potential equalization
NOTICE
The housing is isolated from the tank by the plastic sensor. Because of this,
interference signals may occur if the potential equalization line is not properly
connected.
‣
Use a short potential equalization line for optimum electromagnetic compatibility.
‣
Minimum line cross-section 2.5 mm
2
(14 AWG).
Use a ground strap if interference can be expected due to the installation conditions
(existing interfering installations).
