    Quick Connect Cable Ends (optional) IMPORTANT Connections to the sensor must be made with cable supplied by McCrometer specifically for that purpose. Do not substitute the supplied cable with other types of cable, even for short runs. For repairs or added lengths of cable, the entire cable between the sensor and the transmitter must be replaced.
  • Page 20: Grounding And Electrical Interference

    The grounding rings and gaskets must be used to ensure a positive seal at the flanges, and to ensure fluid is properly grounded to sensor. For best performance, McCrometer provides grounding rings, which should be installed for all sizes. When installing into a PVC or plastic pipe system, grounding rings are required for all sizes.
  • Page 21 GROUNDING AND ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE ® 1 . Preferred method of grounding Dura Mag meters come standard with a set of grounding rings for use with the preferred method of grounding Dura Mag meters. This method can be used for all installations, but it is required for non-conductive or internally coated pipe. When pipes are non-conductive, such as PVC or internally coated pipe, you must substitute direct grounding with grounding rings.
  • Page 22 GROUNDING AND ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE ® 2 . Sensor grounding for meters in an electrically noisy environment If there is electrical noise in the fluid column or electrical current in the pipe, it can be minimized or eliminated using grounding rings or by grounding the pipeline. This applies to meters mated to conductive uncoated pipe. Attach the provided 12 gauge wire, or equivalent, to the ground lug.
