3 Consider housing rotation
The entire electronics housing may be rotated in 90° increments for easy
viewing. Use the following steps to change the housing orientation,
1. Loosen the four housing rotation set screws at the base of the electronics
housing with a 5/32” hex wrench by turning the screws clockwise
(inward) until they clear the support tube.
2. Slowly pull the electronics housing out of the support tube.
CAUTION!
Do not pull the housing more than 1.5 in. (40 mm) from the top of the
support tube until the sensor cable is disconnected. Damage to the
sensor may occur if this sensor cable is stressed.
3. Unscrew the sensor cable from the housing with a 5/16” open end
wrench.
4. Rotate the housing to the desired orientation.
5. Hold it in this orientation while you screw the sensor cable onto the base
of the housing.
CAUTION!
Do not rotate the housing while the sensor cable is attached to the base
of the housing. This will stress the cable and may damage the sensor.
6. Place the electronics housing into the top of the support tube.
7. Use a hex wrench to turn the four housing rotation screws counter-
clockwise (outward) to engage the support tube.
