The connection cable is used to retrofit existing plics sensors to
achieve protection IP 66/IP 68 (1bar).
opriate use
1.2 Impermissible use
As a rule, the connection cable is not allowed to be used with four-wire
instruments. Four-wire instruments are sensors whose power supply
and measurement signal are transmitted over two separate pairs of
wires.
1.3 General safety instructions
The safety information in the operating instructions manual of the
respective sensor must be noted.
1.4 Safety instructions for Ex areas
Please note the Ex-specific safety information for installation and
operation in Ex areas. These safety instructions are part of the
operating instructions manual and come with the Ex-approved
instruments.
For instruments with Exd or StEx approval, the use of this connection
cable is not allowed.

- this operating instructions manual
The connection cable is suitable for the following plic s sensors with
aluminium or stainless steel housing:
l VEGAPULS series 60
l VEGAFLEX series 60 and 80
l VEGASON series 60
l VEGACAL series 60
l VEGABAR series 50 and 60
l VEGACAP series 60
l VEGASWING series 60
l VEGAWAVE series 60
To carry out the retrofit, the existing cable gland is removed and
replaced by the cable gland of the connection cable. The filter element
in the electronics housing is replaced by the blind stopper.
With VEGABAR, the measuring cell is then ventilated via the
capillaries in the connection cable.
