Appendix B. Optional Enclosures

B.7.2 Circuit Board 

Installation

Refer to Figure B-2 on page B-9 and complete the following steps:

1.

Position the new printed circuit board within the electronics console so that it 

rests on the six standoffs in the base of the enclosure and the option card sock-

ets are located near the rear of the enclosure. Secure the circuit board in place 

with the six screws previously removed.

2. Connect the flat LCD DISPLAY CABLE connector to terminal J52 near the option 

card sockets. Make sure the marked pin #1 side of the cable connector is located 

nearer the front of the enclosure.

3. Connect the twisted-pair DISPLAY BACKLIGHT cable to connector J2 beneath the 

left side of the printed circuit board. This connector is polarized and can only be 

installed with the red wire closer to the rear of the enclosure.

4. Connect the flat KEYPAD CABLE connector to terminal J50 near the front of the 

printed circuit board. Make sure the marked pin #1 side of the cable connector is 

located nearer the rear of the enclosure.

5. Install the RS232, ANALOG OUT and TRANSDUCER connectors onto the printed cir-

cuit board at the locations indicated in Figure B-2 on page B-9. Make sure the 

marked pin #1 sides of the connectors face the right side (keypad side) of the 

enclosure.

Note:

If any leads have come loose from the screw terminals on these connectors, 

refer to Appendix C, 

Optional Enclosures

, of the 

Startup Guide

 for wiring 

instructions.

6. Reconnect the main POWER LEADS to the screw terminals at the rear of the 

printed circuit board. When properly installed, the lead colors should be green, 

white and black, from left to right (as viewed from the front of the enclosure).

7. Reinstall all option cards, as described earlier in this chapter. Insert all external 

option card connectors at the rear panel of the meter.

8. After checking for any loose hardware that may have fallen into the enclosure, 

reinstall the top panel on the meter and secure the panel in place with the four 

screws previously removed.

The Model GC868 flowmeter may now be placed back into service. Reconnect the 

main power and refer to Chapter 2, 

Initial Setup

, of the 

Startup Guide

 and Chapter 1, 

Calibration

, of this 

Service Manual

 for instructions on properly setting up the meter 

for accurate flow rate measurements.

Note:

Be sure to record the printed circuit board replacement in Appendix A, 

Service Record

.
