Installation
1.2.1
Installation guidelines
1. The transmitter tolerates harsh environments. For best results, install
the transmitter in an area where temperature extremes, vibrations,
and electromagnetic and radio frequency interference are minimized
or absent.
2. To prevent unintentional exposure of the transmitter circuitry to the
plant environment, keep the security lock in place over the circuit
end cap. To remove the circuit end cap, loosen the lock nut until the
tab disengages from the cap end and then unscrew the cover.
3. The transmitter has two ¾-inch conduit openings, one on each side
of the housing. Run sensor cable through the left side opening (as
viewed from the wiring terminal end of the transmitter) and run
power wiring through the right side opening.
4. Use water tight cable glands to keep moisture out of the transmitter.
5. If using conduit, plug and seal the connections at the transmitter
housing to prevent moisture from getting inside the transmitter.
Equipment damage
Moisture accumulating in the transmitter housing can affect the
performance of the transmitter and may void the warranty.
