They are sealed with plastic plugs as transport protection.You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.NPT threadIn the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust protection caps as transport protection. The dust protection caps do notprovidesucientprotectionagainstmoisture.Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.4.2 Mounting versions, plastic horn antennaThe optional mounting strap allows simple mounting of the instrument on a wall, ceiling or boom.

In the sensor, the screen is connected directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal on the outside of the housing must be connected to the ground potential (low impedance).In Ex systems, the grounding is carried out according to the installa-tion regulations.In electroplating and CCP systems (cathodic corrosion protection) it mustbetakenintoaccountthatsignicantpotentialdierencesexist.This can lead to unacceptably high currents in the cable screen if it is grounded at both ends.Information:Themetallicpartsoftheinstrument(processtting,sensor,concen-tric tube, etc.) are connected with the internal and external ground terminal on the housing.

Depending on the sensor and application, take measures to avoid heavy soiling of the antenna system. If necessary, clean the antenna system in certain intervals.9.2 Measured value and event memoryThe instrument has several memories which are available for diagnostic purposes. The data remain there even in case of voltage interruption.Up to 100,000 measured values can be stored in the sensor in a ring memory. Each entry contains date/time as well as the respective measured value. Storable values are for example:• Distance• Filling height• Percentage value• Lin. percent• Scaled• Current value• Meas. certainty• Electronics temperatureWhen the instrument is shipped, the measured value memory is active and stores distance, measurement certainty and electronics temperature every 3 minutes.The requested values and recording conditions are set via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD. Data are thus read out and also reset.Up to 500 events are automatically stored with a time stamp in the sensor (non-deletable). Each entry contains date/time, event type, event description and value. Event types are for example:• Modicationofaparameter• Switch-onandswitch-otimes• Status messages (according to NE 107)• Error messages (according to NE 107)The data are read out via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD.The echo curves are stored with date and time and the corresponding echo data.
