Electronics Mounting Instructions

Mounting the ThreadChecker electronics module can be done using the two holes in the

enclosure, and an M-4 (or 6-32) screw (see below). The DIN mount attachment can also

be used to allow mounting on a DIN rail.

Positioning the electronics module so that it is not the low point in the cable will keep

liquids from running down the cable and into the electronics. Take care to route the

sensor cable to avoid crushing or crimping it during use. Damage to the sensor cable

may affect the desired set points and overall operation of the electronics.

All dimensions in mm(inches).
