Attaching conduit directly to the enclosure may 

introduce dangerous gasses and moisture into 

the enclosure creating a dangerous condition, and 

will remove the enclosure’s IP67 rating. 

Damage caused 

by attaching conduit to the enclosure or altering the 

enclosure in any way is not covered by the warranty.

IMPORTANT: Do not cut or alter the cable length 

on power or signal cables!

Connections to the sensor must be made with cable 

supplied by McCrometer specifically for that purpose. Do 

not substitute the supplied cable with other types of cable, 

even for short runs. For repairs or added lengths of cable, the 

entire cable between the sensor and the converter must be 

replaced. (Consult factory for replacement cable.)

Mounting the ProComm GO Converter

Note: This applies to the remote mount converter only.

If possible, mount the converter in an electronics shed or environmental 

enclosure. The sun shield should be oriented in a direction to reduce sun 

damage and ensure readability.
Mount the converter to a solid surface using four bolts. This electronic unit 

is rated IP67 for temporary flooding.

Remote Mount Converter Installation

Installing Cables through Cable Glands and Conduit

All electrical cables enter the converter through compression fittings or 

optional customer-supplied conduit located on the side or bottom of the 

converter. Ensure that all compression glands are properly tightened and 

all unused fittings are plugged so the case remains sealed.
The power cable and wiring harnesses are each assigned specific cable 

glands where they will pass through into the converter. See section 3 for 

cable gland assignment for wiring harnesses and wiring diagrams.
All cable compression glands must be properly tightened to prevent 

moisture intrusion and maintain the IP67 rating. To insure IP67 rating, use 

only round cable 0.24” to 0.47” in diameter.
