During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The overvoltage arrester B81-35 is an accessory part for existing plics sensors. ® Warning about incorrect use Inappropriate or incorrect use of this product can give rise to applica- tion-specific hazards, e.g. vessel overfill through incorrect mounting...
– This supplementary instructions manual – If necessary, further certificates Constituent parts The overvoltage arrester B81-35 consists of a terminal block for the supply and signal cable, a plug connector for the terminals of the sen- sor electronics and a connection cable for connection to the ground terminal.
3 Product description Functional principle The overvoltage arrester B81-35 limits voltages on signal cables to a level that is harmless for sensors. As a voltage-limiting component, it contains a gas discharge tube for discharging pulses of up to 10 kA to ground.
8. Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on them 9. Connect the connection cable of the overvoltage arrester to the internal ground terminal, connect the external ground terminal to potential equalisation 10.
