3.4  Sensor Installation Without Tool

It is recommended that the installation tool always be used when
installing the 2550.  If the installation tool is not available, follow
the instructions below.  Pay careful attention to the insertion depth
of the sensor in the pipe and the alignment of the electrodes
relative to the pipe.

1.

Loosen three bolts at top of 2550 adjustment nut.  Wrap
adjustment nut threads with 3 full wraps of sealing tape and
insert 2550 sensor into fitting.  Be sure cable ports are
pointing downstream. Thread adjustment nut securely into
pipe.

2.

Adjust meter height so tip of sensor is 0.20 inches below the
inside diameter of pipe. Calculate the "H" dimension:

H = sensor length - 0.2 in. - wall = 8.1025 in.

- 0.2 in - wall

H = 7.9025 - wall (H = 200 mm - wall thickness)

3.

Align the magmeter parallel with the pipe

. Retighten the

three 3/16 in. bolts to secure the sensor in the pipe.

Wiring

To access the wiring terminals in the 2550 loosen six captive
outer cover screws (1), lift off outer cover (2), then loosen two
captive screws (3) and remove access plate (4).  A wiring
diagram is located on the inside of the access plate.  Five
terminal strips are available.
