The cable must not be shielded, however, should not be laid directly besides strong
electrical interference sources either. Including line resistance, contact resistance goes
the maximum line length and with that by the following table the maximum:

A complete resistance of 9 Ω, inclusive of contact resistances, should not be exceeded
since otherwise a failure signal is carried out.
In addition, for the explosion-protected version, a max. inductance of
L
≤ 0.5 mH and a max. capacitance of C

For the explosion-protected version, a light-blue cable or one marked
light-blue must be installed from the switching amplifier to the transducer
(intrinsically safe circuit). The switching amplifier is located in the
non-hazardous area and the measuring body of the transducer in a Zone 1
area.
