114 MountingVEGAPULS 63 • Foundation Fieldbus28451-EN-1701194 Mounting4.1 General instructionsSelect an installation position you can easily reach for mounting andconnecting as well as later retrofitting of a display and adjustmentmodule. The housing can be rotated by 330° without the use of anytools. You can also install the display and adjustment module in fourdifferent positions (each displaced by 90°).Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to powersupply") and tighten the cable gland.You can give your instrument additional protection against moisturepenetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of thecable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This ap-plies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas wherehigh humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or oncooled or heated vessels.Fig. 2: Measures against moisture ingressMetric threadsIn the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cableglands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plasticplugs as transport protection.You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.NPT threadIn the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it isnot possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. Thefree openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dustprotection caps as transport protection.Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.The reference plane for the measuring range of the sensors is thelower edge of the flange.Information:If the medium reaches the antenna, buildup can form on it and causefaulty measurements later on.Installation positionMoistureCable entries - NPTthreadCable glandsMeasuring range
