Grounding
To ensure proper grounding:
• If the sensor installation must comply with UL or CSA standards, refer
to the instructions in one of the following Micro Motion documents:
- UL-D-IS Installation Instructions
- CSA-D-IS Installation Instructions
• To determine which grounding instructions to use, refer to Table 4-1.
Table 4-1.
Selecting the proper
grounding scheme

CAUTION
Failure to comply with requirements for intrinsic
safety if the sensor is installed in a hazardous area
could result in an explosion.
The transmitter must be properly grounded. Follow the
instructions below to ground the transmitter.

If national standards are not in effect, adhere
to these guidelines for grounding:
• Use copper wire, 14 AWG (2.5 mm²) or
larger wire size.
• Keep all ground leads as short as possible,
less than 1 ohm impedance.
• A factory-installed ground wire, connecting
the I.S. ground and power-supply ground
terminals, must remain in place.
• Connect power-supply ground directly to
earth.
• For hazardous area installation in Europe,
use standard EN 60079-14 as a guideline.
• To achieve potential equalization and comply
with CENELEC standards for hazardous
area installations in Europe, connect power-
ground terminal to the appropriate ground
terminals within the hazardous area, using a
potential equalizing line.
