Grounding
The 4590 TSM must be grounded to the tank potential before communication and power
connections are made. The connections (A ³ 4mm2) from each outer ground plug of the 4590
TSM to the tank ground must be made before any other wiring connections are made. All
grounding must be compliant with local and company regulations and checked before the
equipment is commissioned.
