wires here
1.
Pull the Belden 8471 (or
equivalent wire) and the
14 AWG (2.5 mm
2
ground wire
to the junction box.
2.
If you are installing the
sensor in series with other
sensors or stations
(continuing the data run), use
the provided EchoConnect
pigtail, ESD ground wire
pigtail. Termination connectors
are not provided. If you are
not continuing the data run,
proceed to Step 3.
a.
Strip each wire to the appropriate length, depending on the wire
nut or other termination used (wire nuts are not provided).
b.
Twist the data - (typically black) EchoConnect wire, the black
lead from the EchoConnect pigtail, and any continuing
EchoConnect (typically black) wire together and secure with a
wire nut.
c.
Repeat the above steps for the data + (typically white)
EchoConnect wire and the ESD ground wire.
3.
Orient the smooth side of the mounting plate to the junction box and
pull the EchoConnect wires (or terminated pigtail) from the junction
box through the provided holes near the center of the mounting plate.
4.
Secure the mounting plate to the junction box using the screws
provided (both short and long screws are provided for convenience).
5.
Strip each wire 5/16” (8 mm) and terminate the EchoConnect (white
and black wires) and the ground wire (green/yellow) to the
EchoConnect terminal block located on the sensor controller. Torque
each termination to 3.1-3.5 in-lb.
a.
Terminate the white incoming wire to the data + terminal.
b.
Terminate the black incoming wire to the data - terminal.
c.
Terminate the green/yellow (ground) wire to the ground terminal.
6.
Attach the sensor to the mounting plate by aligning the tabs on the
sensor with the slots on the mounting plate, then twist clockwise until
the two are secured into place.
