A level sensor and separate Quickon connector are included in the scope of delivery. The
control device does not have to be opened for connection. The connection is established us-
ing a Quickon connector.

Level sensor and separate Quickon connector (Item 1 to 4).
1.
Push the union nut (Item 1), crown (Item 2) and the rubber seal (Item 3) onto the level
5
sensor cable.
2.
Remove the signal cable line sheathing (approx. 15 mm). The wire ends must be flush
with the splice ring (Item 4) or may protrude max. 2 mm, see Fig. 19.
3.
The capillary cable must be 10 mm shorter so that the necessary connection to the at-
mosphere is not interrupted.
4.
Insert the red wire of the level sensor cable into duct 1, the blue wire of the level sensor
cable into duct 2 and the capillary cable (length approx. 5 mm) into duct 3 of the splice
ring. (The numbers are stamped on the splice ring.)
5.
Insert the prepared cable into the contact support (Item 5).
6.
Tighten the union nut.
▶
The quick connection automatically establishes contact and strain relief when
tightened.
Before reconnecting, cut off the cable remains and establish a new contact as described
above. Reconnection with the same contact system is permitted up to a maximum of ten
times.
CAUTION
Malfunction due to improper installation
The protective sheath / capillary cable of the level sensor is used to trans-
mit the current air pressure to the sensor. The sensor cable can be exten-
ded to a limited extent.
• Do not block or kink the protective sheath / capillary cable.
• The opening of the protective sheath / capillary cable must be fixed
in a dry environment and with connection to the atmosphere.
• It is possible to extend the sensor cable up to a length of 40 m.
For the extension, use a cable that is suitable for the conditions on site
(possibly an underground cable with a cross-section of at least 2 x
0.5 mm²).
A special IP65 terminal box with pressure compensation (accessories,
see Accessories [" 50] section) must be used as the connection point,
which ensures an exchange with the ambient pressure. There is no need
to extend the capillary to the control device here.
• Laying the sensor cable in an empty pipe is strongly recommended.
