Safety Warnings When installing, operating, and maintaining McCrometer equipment where hazards may be present, you must protect yourself by wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and be trained to enter confined spaces. Examples of confined spaces are manholes, pumping stations, pipelines, pits, septic tanks, sewage digesters, vaults, degreasers, storage tanks, boilers, and furnaces.
When uncrating the Ultra Mag, any damage due to rough or improper handling should be reported to the transportation firm and McCrometer. If for any reason it is determined that the unit or parts of the unit should be returned to the factory, please contact McCrometer for clearance prior to shipment.
PREPARING FOR A NEW INSTALLATION LTRA 3 .0 PREPARING FOR A NEW INSTALLATION 3 .1 Meter Mounted Sensor Location Adjoining pipe must be adequately supported, and the area around the sensor should provide sufficient drainage to prevent flooding the transmitter or conduits. The location chosen should provide room to read the display and be free from harsh electrical noise from adjacent equipment, cables, R.F.I., or E.M.I.
FLOW METER INSTALLATION LTRA 4 .0 FLOW METER INSTALLATION NOTE Nothing in this manual supersedes local codes. NOTE The flow of the medium should correspond to the direction shown by the arrow on the sensor. 4 .1 Flanged Meter Installation Install the Ultra Mag flow meter inline between two flanged end pipes.
REMOTE MOUNT TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION LTRA 5 .0 REMOTE MOUNT TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION 5 .1 Mounting the ProComm Max Transmitter Note: This applies to the remote mount transmitter only. If possible, mount the transmitter in an electronics shed or environmental enclosure. The sun shield should be oriented in a direction to reduce sun damage and ensure readability.
REMOTE MOUNT TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION LTRA The remote mount transmitter is shipped with five 1/2" NPT cable glands. Up to three cable glands may be removed and replaced with 1/2" conduits. Figure 6 .

Remote mount transmitter cable assignments 5 .4 Pulling Sensor Cable Through Electrical Conduit It is very important to protect the end of the sensor cable when pulling it through a conduit. Water can accumulate in low portions of conduit.
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. Quick Connect cable end fittings are optional. If selected at the time of order, follow the instructions below.
Remote Mount Cable Connection to Sensor The ProComm Max transmitter is designed to connect to a single-port converter box CABLING AND CONNECTING WIRING mounted on meter. See Figure 12 as an example showing the Ultra Mag meter. This design LTRA converts ow data and sends it to the ProComm Max transmitter.
