3. INSTALLATION AND WIRING
3.1 Installation and dimensions
3.1.1 Installation site
The SC450G converter is weatherproof and can be installed inside or outside. It should,
however, be installed as close as possible to the sensor to avoid long cable runs between
sensor and converter. In any case, the cable length should not exceed 60 metres (197
feet).
Select an installation site where:
• Mechanical vibrations and shocks are negligible
• No relay/power switches are in the direct environment
• Access is possible to the cable glands (see figure 3.1)
• The converter is not mounted in direct sunlight or severe weather conditions
• Maintenance procedures are possible (avoiding corrosive environments)
The ambient temperature and humidity of the installation environment must be within the
limits of the instrument specifications. (See chapter 2).
3.1.2 Mounting methods
Refer to figures 3.2 and 3.3. Note that the SC450G converter has universal mounting
capabilities:
• Panel mounting using optional brackets
• Surface mounting on a plate (using bolts from the back)
• Wall mounting on a bracket (for example, on a solid wall)
• Pipe mounting using a bracket on a horizontal or vertical pipe Size nominal 50A
