5.2 Connecting the instrument to the electric system
Requirements for voltage supply
Supply voltage see chapter 9 „Specifications".
Requirements for electrical connection
Cable diameter matches the cable bushing of the mating connector.
■
Cable gland and seals of the mating connector are correctly seated.
■
With cable outlets, no humidity can ingress at the cable end.
■
Requirement for shielding and grounding
The pressure sensor must be grounded via the process connection (model MH-3).
■
The connection is made in the vehicle with a suitable power supply/control unit that
■
complies with regulation 10. (MH-3-HY).
The connection to vehicle ground is made via the process connection (MH-3-HY).
■
In accordance with EN 61326-1, in case of outdoor installations, faults caused by surge
voltages must be considered. To protect the instrument, it must be connected using
a shielded cable. The shield of the cable must be connected on at least one side to
ground or a suitable reference potential. Optionally, a suitable external measure can be
taken to ensure protection against surge voltages.
Connecting the instrument
1. Assemble the mating connector or cable outlet.
