Multi-Sensor Area Velocity Flow Meter 

APPENDIX A – OPTIONS 

 
EXTRA SENSOR CABLE 
(OPTION VXC) 

 

Each Greyline AVMS 5.1 flow meter includes 25 ft. (7.6 m), 50 ft. (15 m) or 100 ft. (30 m) tri-coaxial 
sensor cable. This cable is shielded from electrical interference and is watertight with a polyurethane 
jacket. Additional cable and Cable Junction Box (Option JB2X or JB4X) may be ordered with the Flow 
Meter, or the cable may be spliced and extended up to 500 ft (152 m) total length as required during 
installation. No adjustment is required when the sensor cable is extended or shortened. Use only 
Greyline tri-coaxial VXC shielded cable, or run three RG174U coaxial cables in a metal conduit. 

Extended sensor cable can be installed in conduit for mechanical protection. Recommended installation 
with a junction box is illustrated below:
