transducer casing and therefore the analog output is isolated from earth ground.  However, if
the power select jumper is set in the “

Lo

” position, the analog output will not be isolated from

the incoming power line.

Install conduit such that all seals are watertight and rigidly secure.  After pulling wire, pot the
conduit near the enclosure if there is any possibility of them trapping water or moisture.  The
lid of the enclosure should be on tight enough to make a good seal against the gasket.  Ensure
all enclosure openings are completely watertight.

As a general rule, if the flow is to be shut off or the flow line empty for long periods of time,
power to the unit should also be turned off.  An on/off switch, provided by the customer, is
recommended for all industrial installations.
