II.  Installation Procedures

A.  MS2500L Transmitter Mounting

When mounting the MS2500L choose a location that is free from vibration. The mounting bracket (U-
bolts) can accept a pipe that is no larger than 2.5 inches.

Always remove power to the instrument when mounting; especially when mounting it in a hazardous
area.

(See Drawing No. 8102 in Appendix A for preferred hardware mounting scheme.)

B.  MS2510 Receiver Installation

The MS2500L transmitter can be used in conjunction with the MS2510 receiver. (See Drawing No.
8101 in Appendix A for connecting these two instruments together. See Section IV for description and
specifications of the MS2510.)

Front Panel
Two of the three positions on the front panel of the MS2510 are used with the MS2500L. One is the
loop current in milliamps and the other (far right) is corrosion rate in mils per year.

Back Panel
The back panel’s 10-position rotary switches must be set to 999 when operated in the Corrosion Rate
Mode
. In Current Loop Mode the switch positions do not matter.

Wire Connections
Once the MS2500L is installed, connections are made by connecting the red wire (+) coming out of the
MS2500L to the (+) side of terminals on back of the MS2510 receiver labeled - LOOP +. Connect
the black wire (-) to the (-) side under - LOOP +.
