Section 2: Installation
To install the Model 375 Transmitter, connect the surface end of the cable to
the Ametek Model CDM Meter Controller or other power source and indicator.
Suspend the transmitter into a well or tank supported only by its attached
shielded electronic cable. Insure that the opening in the well or tank cover
is large enough for possible future removal of the transmitter.
2.1
Safety Information
The overall system is designed to prevent accidental shock to the operator when
properly used. No design, however, can insure the safety of an instrument
improperly installed or used negligently. Read this manual carefully and
completely before operating the instrument. Failure to read this manual in
its entirety could result in damage to the instrument or injury to the operator.
To avoid possible shock hazard install in a grounded enclosure, prevent live
parts being touched and ground the sensor sheath and housing. Follow
wiring diagrams and local regulations. Installations where failure of this
equipment may cause personal injury, property loss, equipment damage or
financial loss, backup failsafe protection must be used.
2.2
Unpacking & Inspection
Carefully remove the contents of the shipping carton and check each item
against the packing list before destroying any packing material. If there is
any shortage or damage, report it to the factory immediately.
When this transmitter is used with the AMETEK Drexelbrook CDM Controller,
the transmitter Model Number is identified on the nameplate of the CDM in
the section labeled "USED WITH." This is because the CDM is calibrated
with, and should be used only with a specific Submersible Transmitter. Look
for a correlation between the two instruments.
2.3
Operational Checkout
Before installing the 375 Series Transmitter, make sure the system is
operating by doing a bench check.
WARNING:
Do not connect any wires while Power is applied.
For temporary connections, refer to diagrams in Wiring Section 2.5 of this
manual. Connect AC power to the controller and/or with which it is to be
used. Apply power and allow a five-minute warm-up.
With no pressure applied to the transmitter, the meter should display zero
(or for "drawdown" the reading corresponding to the depth below ground
level that the transmitter will be when installed.)
