Electrical connection
5 Electrical connection
The electrical connection of the VMI is made via the 5-pin plug M12x1 on the top of the hous-
ing.
The wiring of the VMI depends on the version ordered. A distinction is made between fre-
quency and analogue output, as well as basic and optional wiring.
CAUTION! Electric current!
The electrical connection should only be carried out by a fully qualified electrician.
De-energize the electrical system before connecting the VMI.
CAUTION! Material damage and fire hazard!
Exceeding the specified limits will cause damage to the electronics. Without current lim-
iting, there is a fire hazard due to overheating of the device.
Connect the VMI only to a power source with limited power.
Optional wirings:
Depending on the version, an analogue output can be optionally connected.
Connecting cable:
Suitable connection cables with moulded coupling socket are available in various lengths in-
cluded in the range of SIKA accessories. The shielding is already connected with the knurled
nut. The maximum length of the connecting cable is 30 m.
IMPORTANT! Shielding required!
Use only shielded connection cables.
The shield of the connection cable should not
be connected to earth.
We recommend to earth the pipes directly before and
behind the VMI ( Figure).
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Pay attention to the temperature resistance of the connecting cable ( § 9 "Technical
data") at high media temperatures.
If the temperature resistance is smaller than the medium temperature, the cable may
not be directly laid on the pipe.
Connection 5-pin plug M12x1:
Screw the coupling socket of the connection cable to the plug of the VMI.
Tighten the knurled nut of the coupling socket with a maximum torque of 1 Nm.
