4.1 Instructions for installation

If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.

In Ex

applications only one instrument and one electronics module with

respective Ex approval may be used.

4.2 Mounting preparations

Keep in mind that the emitting and receiving unit require special
electronics modules.

l Emitting unit - electronics module MP60EE.T**
l Receiving unit - electronics module MP60EE.R**

4.3 Mounting steps

To exchange the electronics module, proceed as follows:

1 Switch off power supply

2 Unscrew the housing cover

3 Lift the terminal block with a small screwdriver and pull it out.

4 Loosen the two screws with a screw driver (Torx size T10 or slot 4)

Fig. 1: Loosening

1 Electronics module
2 Screws (2 pcs.)

5 Pull out the old electronics module

6 Compare 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.

7 Insert the electronics module carefully. Make sure that the plug is

in the correct position.
