Installs in Minutes
Each of the three installation options uses different
parts from the installation kit; expect to have parts left
over after installation. Read through all steps for the
enclosure type prior to beginning installation.

Field Enclosure Installation
(Including Moore Industries’ DH & BH enclosures)
Installation Components Required:
Sensor Probe,
Spring, Cap, Clip, and Spacer(s).
1.
Determine the length of the thermowell assembly (see
the illustration to the right). Cut the WORM Spring to be
between 1 and 1½ inches
longer
than the length of the
assembly (this is necessary so that the Spring's
compression securely holds the sensor probe to the
bottom of the thermowell).
2.
Ensuring that the uncut portion of the Spring faces down
towards the Sensor Probe, slide the Spring over the sensor
wires and onto the end of the Sensor Probe.
3.
Snap the Clip onto the Cap. Then slide the Cap/Clip
combination over the sensor wires onto the top of the
Spring.
4.
Remove the instrument from the enclosure (if
necessary). Insert the WORM sensor into the thermowell.
Slide the appropriate length(s) and number of Spacers
to keep the WORM Spring straight inside the thermowell
assembly lag (Spacers may not be required).
5.
Using pliers, grasp the Cap/Clip combination by the
niche at the top of the Cap, and insert it into the
enclosure’s sensor entry port to compress the WORM
Spring into the thermowell. Reinstall the instrument into
the enclosure. Connect the sensor wires.
