4Mounting
4.1Instructions for installation
If the electronics module is defective,it can be replaced by the user.
InExapplications only one instrument and one electronics module with
respective Ex approval may be used.
4.2Mounting preparations
In general,all electronics modules of series CP60 can be inter-
changed.If you want to use an electronics module with a different
signal output,you can download the corresponding operating
instructions manual from our homepage under Downloads.
4.3Mounting steps
To exchange the electronics module,proceed as follows:
1Switch offpower supply
2Unscrew the housing cover
3Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a screwdriver
4Pull the connection cables out of the terminals
5Loosen the two screws with a screw driver (Torx size T10 or slot 4)

6Pull out the old electronics module
7Compare the new electronics module with the old one.The type
label of the electronics module must correspond to that of the old
electronics module.This applies particularly to instruments used in
hazardous areas.

8Compare the settings of the two electronics modules.Set the
adjustment elements of the new electronics module to the same
setting of the old one.
Information:
Make sure that the housing is not rotated during the electronics
exchange.Otherwise the plug may be in a different position later.
9Insert the electronics module carefully.Make sure that the plug is
in the correct position.
10 Screw in the two holding screws and tighten them
11 Insert the wire ends into the open terminals according to the wiring
plan
12 Press down the opening levers of the terminals,you will hear the
terminal spring closing
13 Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on
them
14 Check cable gland on tightness.The seal ring must completely
encircle the cable.
15 Mount the probe into the vessel.Make sure that the probe is
uncovered.
