Avoid Electrical Interference

Always use shielded cable, between the controller and the HC Flow Meter.
At the controller end, using the shield (foil wrap) and the bare wire connect them to the
controller GND terminal (not required for HC controllers).
Do not connect the other end of the Shield or the bare wire to the Earth or a grounding
stake
Use Waterproof wire connectors at the flow meter, such as the 3M-DBOB

.

Shielded cable is commonly available, here are some manufacturers. Paige
