5. To connect the transducer electrical cables, see the Startup or User's Manual that was supplied with your
flowmeter.
CAUTION!

BWT Transducer/Junction Box
Do not place insulation on or around the transducer or junction box. The transducer and
junction box act as a heat sink that protects the transducer from high and low
temperatures.
While the epoxy cures, do not remove, re-torque or adjust the transducer or you will
crack the epoxy.
