IMPORTANT  NOTICE

This manual will assist you in operating and maintaining the GPI 

electronics supplied with your GPI meter. The GPI Electronics 

can be used in indoor or outdoor applications where occasional 

exposure to moisture is common.
The GG Model Pulse Out with Display can be battery powered 

(9-volt supplied) or externally powered.

•  This product is not approved for use in hazardous locations.
•  Be sure O-rings and seals are kept in good repair.
•  When applying power, use DC power 

only!

•  Disconnect  external  power  before  attaching  or  detaching 

input or output wires.

Installation  should  be  performed  only  by  qualified 

personnel,  and  in  accordance  with  local  governing 

regulations.

Avoid plumbing meter where the Display is:
•  Subject to constant exposure to water or other liquids (oc-

casional low-pressure splashing will not harm unit).

•  Subject to >5g shock loading.
•  Facing the sun directly for long periods of time.
The GG Model is shipped without cable or strain relief. See Illus-

trated Parts List for these components. When wiring long lengths 

of cable, be sure to connect the shield to LOCAL-COM only! 

(Multiple shield connections may cause ground-loop problems.
Try to keep cable lengths short. Individual installation sites vary 

widely, contact GPI Customer Service with questions regarding 

your specific needs.
