    502-3000 Series Ztron Point Level Control Installation 2.5 Wiring the Sensing Element (Integral) If the Ztron level control has the electronic unit mounted in the same housing as the sensing element (integral mount), the sensing element is prewired at the factory, as shown in Figure 2-11.
  • Page 20: Spark Protector For Integral Units

    502-3000 Series Ztron Point Level Control Installation 2.5.1 Spark Protector for Integral Units Applications involving insulating granulars and insulating liquids may require extra spark protection against static discharge that can damage the electronic unit. If required, a heavy duty spark protector is available as an option and will be prewired at the factory with integrally mounted Ztron level controls.
  • Page 21: Wiring The Sensing Element (Remote)

    502-3000 Series Ztron Point Level Control Installation 2.6 Wiring the Sensing Element (Remote) If the Ztron electronic unit is mounted remotely from the sensing element, the cable connections from the sensing element to the electronic unit are made to the individual terminals on the side opposite the terminal strips.
