SECTION 3.0: INSTALLATION
3.1 INSPECTION
Carefully remove the ELECTRA-flo probe(s) or station and transmitter from the shipping container
and inspect for any damage.
Review the Factory Set-Up Information Sheet provided separately and verify that the W.O. # and
serial # match those on the ELECTRA-flo system. Verify that the configuration recorded on the Factory
Set-Up Information Sheet is correct for your application. If any damage has occurred in transit or the
factory set-up configuration is incorrect for your application, please contact Air Monitor’s Customer
Service Department at 1-800-AIRFLOW for assistance.
3.2 INSTALLATION LOCATION GUIDELINES
• The standard version of the ELECTRA-flo G5 transmitter and probe connection heads have
a NEMA 1 enclosure rating suitable for clean and dry indoor locations. For additional
protection, an enclosure with an adequate NEMA rating may be required. Please contact your
Air Monitor representative for enclosure options.
• The ambient temperature of the selected mounting location must be between -20° and 140° F.
Consideration should be given to units exposed to direct sunlight.
• The selected mounting location should be rigid and free of vibration.
3.3 TRANSMITTER PLACEMENT GUIDELINES
The transmitter must be installed in a way that will allow the probe-to-transmitter cables from the
probe arrays or stations to reach the mini-DIN receptacles on the bottom of the transmitter. Standard
probe-to-transmitter cable lengths are 10’ with optional 25’, 50’ and 100’ cables available.
Terminal connections inside each probe connection box allow for custom sizing of cable lengths
for a clean installation. Do not cut off the mini-DIN connectors. For Dual Systems, all probes can be
interconnected and brought back to the transmitter with a single cable, or each individual system can
have a home run to the transmitter.
3.4 TRANSMITTER MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
For mounting of flow probes and stations, please reference the appropriate ELECTRA-flo Installation
Procedures Guide.
This section may be skipped if the unit is an ELECTRA-flo/CM or ELECTRA-flo/M, and the
transmitter was ordered factory mounted to the station.

IMPORTANT NOTE
All ELECTRA-flo G5 transmitters are factory configured with the application specific duct
size and flow rate information. The transmitter and probes or flow stations are tagged with
matching ESID and/or customer specific identification. Matching the systems as configured
by the factory will reduce the installation and start-up labor required.
