FLOWCERT LITE (UL) INSTRUCTION MANUAL 
 

20 

Cable Entry 

There are 6 cable gland knockouts on the base of the FlowCERT Lite (5 x 
20mm (0.79"), 1 x 16mm (0.63")) and 4 on the rear (4 x 18mm dia (0.73")). 
Select which ones you wish to take out, and remove them by using a circular 
cutter, such as a tank cutter. Take care not to damage the circuit board 
inside whilst undertaking this.  Do not use a hammer, as this may cause 
damage to the enclosure.  It is recommended that you use suitable cable 
glands to ensure that the ingress rating is maintained. 

Terminal connection details 

There is a wiring diagram inside the terminal access cover, and is shown 
below: 

 

Terminal connections 

Power 

The FlowCERT can operate from mains AC and automatically from DC or 
battery backup in the event of power failure or can be operated permanently 
from DC or batteries.
