The optional filter element for self-mounting avoids the
ingress of pollution and water into the venting tube for the
pressure compensation to the atmosphere.
The optional cable box with weather protection IP 67 with
venting element (NEMA 4) is suitable for mounting outside
of the shafts and tanks or directly in dry control boxes.
For mechanical assembly of the level probe a cable strai-
ning clamp is optionally available.
In order to increase the mass of the level probe an additi-
onal mass (approx. 500 g = 1.1 lb.) can be screwed on.
