    The XP-HDGC2-L, with its glass window, may be used when the display option is desired. These housings have appropriate mounting plates in the bottom to attach the SC170 in any of four orientations 90° apart. In addition special captive 6-32 machine screws are installed on the signal conditioner to facilitate installation and removal.

  • Page 7: Pipe Mounting

    DYNISCO SC170 Manual 2.2.3 Pipe Mounting A stainless steel bracket, the PB-2, is available for mounting the weatherproof housing onto any 2" pipe in any of four operations. The housing is attached to the bracket as shown in Figure 2-5.
  • Page 8: Surface Mounting

    If the additional weather resistance is not required, the SC170 can be mounted directly on a flat surface by the two mounting ears found on these units. In applications requiring several signal conditioners, these can be mounted on the plate normally found inside of NEMA-4 rated rectangular metal enclosures.
  • Page 9: Output Terminals

    The output terminals 9 and 10 are connected to a power supply having a nominal 24 Volt DC voltage and capable of supplying 100mA for the SC170. In the analog mode, these signal conditioners require a maximum of 23mA. The + OUT and - OUT terminals of the power supply.

    LCD display module plugged in and attached to the top of the unit. The display option can be ordered already installed on the SC170 signal conditioner. Having the display option as part of the signal conditioner does not affect its operation in the analog mode and the description of the previous section applies.
