3.2 Sensor Installation 

3.2.1  Shorting Plug 

Some sensors are shipped with a shorting plug between the “

W”

 and “

C”

 pins on 

the sensor cell.  

This must be removed prior to installation.

3.2.2  Sensor Installation  

1.

 

Remove the sensor cover. 

2.

 

Plug the sensor cell into the bottom of the transmitter. 

3.

 

Replace the sensor cover.

NOTE   

The  internal  wiring  to  the  sensor  cell  terminal  connector  on  the 

transmitter printed circuit board is terminated at the factory.  It is not necessary 
to make internal wiring terminations.  If  necessary, the terminal connector may 
be removed from the printed circuit board to make these connections. Be sure to 
replace the terminal connector securely once all connections have been made
