The temperature sensor PLH is a two-wire sensor which is connected via a 4-wire connection. Two
connecting wires must be connected to one terminal.
Sensor pockets and welded sleeves are available as accessories for mounting, see technical docu-
mentation for temperature sensor.
The temperature sensor PHL should be connected to the energy totaliser via the 4-wire temperature
input to terminals 5-1-2-6 (hot side) and 7-3-4-8 (cold side) respectively.

Note: For measuring points compliant to CE-MID, with nominal width of
pipe 15, 20 and 25, directly immersed temperature sensors must be
used.

Installation in a pipe bend is also recommended in which the sensor tip must always
be pointing against the direction of flow and the entire active length is in the centre of
flow. To avoid vortices and their associated influence on the flowmeter, the centre must
be mounted immediately downstream from this.
