Installation
00809-0100-4860, Rev BF
If the flowmeter is protected by the optional transient protector, you must provide
a high-current ground connection from the electronics housing to earth ground.
Also, tighten the ground screw in the bottom center of the terminal block to
provide a good ground connection. See

B. Captive screws
C. Transient terminal block ground tab
Plug and seal all unused conduit connections on the electronics housing to avoid
moisture accumulation in the terminal side
of the housing.
If the connections are not sealed, mount the flowmeter with the conduit entry
positioned downward for drainage. Install wiring with a drip loop, making sure the
bottom of the drip loop is lower than the conduit connections or the electronics
housing.
