Power supply

Electrical connection

To ensure that the Minicap operates safely and without electrical interference, it must be connected to

an earthed silo with metal or reinforced concrete walls.

For silos made of non-conductive materials, the external earth wire of the Minicap must be connected

to a conductive and earthed component which is earthed near to the silo. The protective earth can be

connected to the internal earth terminal of the Minicap.

Connections can be made with standard instrument cabling.

See TI00241F/00/EN for information on EMC (testing procedures, installation).

Connect the potential matching lead (PAL) when using in dust explosion hazardous areas.

Note national regulations!
