4.4  Grounding connections
The grounding can be done either by connecting the PE terminal in the housing or the PE 
terminal on the connection piece between measuring sensor and signal converter. Both of these 
electrical connections are equally effective from a technical point of view.

DANGER!
The measuring device has to be grounded properly to achieve accurate measurement. The 
grounding wire may not transfer any interference voltage. 
Do not use this grounding wire to ground any other items of electrical equipment.
