4.1 General instructions
We recommended installing the electronics module with the instru-
ment dismounted and brought to a suitable place, e.g. a workshop. If it
is not possible to dismount the instrument, the electronics module can
also be installed on site at the measuring point.
Warning:
Switchovoltagesupplybeforestartingtheinstallationprocedure.
The electronics module may only be installed when the sensor is in a
de-energised state. Non-observance will damage the electronics!
ForsensorswithExapproval,makesurethatthereplacementelec-
tronicsmodulehasthesamedesignationastheexchangedelectron-
ics module.
4.2 Mounting preparations
The supplementary electronics is mounted into the second chamber
of the sensor housing and is adapted to the respective sensor. Make
sure that you are using a replacement electronics suitable for the
instrument.
