This chapter is designed to take you through the installation process for the
TRICON transmitter.
The following equipment is required for the installation:
• me dium, flat-head screwdriver
• wire stripper

Inspection and Storage

Remove the assembly parts from the parts bag and inspect them for any
damage. The transmitter arrives partially assembled, with the terminal cover
and mounting ring being the only separate parts.
Once the inspection is complete, store the cartons in a clean, dry environment.
The temperature should remain between -40° and 185°F (-40° and 85°C).

Always follow your local electrical and safety codes, and observe the following
guidelines for running wire between your TRICON/E transmitter and the
receiving device.
• Avoid installing your TRICON/E instrumentation wiring near sources of
electrical noise, such as:
• contactors, motor starters, and relays
• radio transmitters and antennas
• high-voltage power wiring and transformers
