3.2 MECHANICAL 

INSTALLATION

 

3.2.1  Orient The Display For Convenient Viewing

 

 

Both the electronics enclosure and the display itself can be rotated to four different 

 

 

orientations to change the viewing angle for the display. If necessary, this should be done 

 

 

before the meter is installed.   

 

 

3.2.1.1  Rotating the electronics enclosure  

 

 

 

The electronics enclosure is attached to the meter body with (4) 5mm Allen head 

 

 

 

screws. To rotate the enclosure, you must fi rst remove the screws and then carefully 

 

 

 

rotate the enclosure as needed. The interconnecting stem assembly is a conduit for 

 

 

 

wires that connect the sensors to the circuitry contained in the enclosure. Care must 

 

 

 

be taken to prevent these wires from being damaged when rotating the enclosure. 

CAUTION

Make certain the sensor wires are not damaged when re-attaching the enclosure.
