Electrical considerations

Note

2.9.1

Conduit installation

If all connections are not sealed, excess moisture accumulation can damage the
transmitter. Make sure to mount the transmitter with the electrical housing positioned
downward for drainage. To avoid moisture accumulation in the housing, install wiring with
a drip loop, and ensure the bottom of the drip loop is mounted lower than the conduit
connections or the transmitter housing.
Recommended conduit connections are shown in
Figure 2-15. Conduit installation diagrams.
