MOUNTING PROCEDURE cont.

Standard Rigid Probe

1. Thread probe into mounting bushing on tank.

2. Tighten securely being certain that the wrench is ap-

plied

ONLY

to the lower probe nut. Refer to Figure 4

3. Screw the preamplifier housing onto the probe. Refer to

Figure 4.

4. Screw housing on probe until hand tight. Housing can be

wrench tightened to align conduit connection with
conduit.

5. Locate the white wire assembly on the printed circuit

board. Connect the free end of this wire to the probe
connection screw. Refer to Figure 4.

6. Proceed to Wiring Procedure on Page 5.

MOUNTING PROCEDURE

Transmitter Mounting Procedure

There are two predrilled holes in the enclosure for connect-
ing 3/4" NEMA 4X conduit; one for power and one for the
remote probe wiring. Two additional holes may be drilled in
the base as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2

Transmitter Mounting Holes

1. Open the door of the unit.

2. Drill holes in the enclosure as required for additional

wiring. Be careful not to damage the printed circuit
boards. Be sure that the PC boards are not damaged or
contaminated when removing filings and/or debris from
the housing.

3. Provide watertight seals for all wiring entrances into

the enclosure.

4. Mount the enclosure to a wall or flat surface using the

appropriate screws or bolts. The mounting tabs on the
back of the enclosure can be rotated to the sides, or top
and bottom to facilitate mounting. Refer to Figure 3.

Transmitter Mounting Tabs

5. Install conduit for power and control wiring. Be sure all

connections to the enclosure maintain a NEMA 4X rating

6. Close the transmitter door until it is time to wire the

transmitter. Proceed to the Probe Mounting Procedure.
