Mechanical Installation for 228PV Plastic Tee Sensors
1) Note intended direction of flow as indicated by arrows on the tee. There must be free, unrestricted pipe for
at least 10 diameters upstream and 5 diameters downstream of the tee.
2) Remove the clevis pin and remove the sensor from the tee.
3) Properly clean the pipe ends and tee sockets.
4) For 228PV, solvent cement the pipe to the tee.
5) Reinstall sensor in tee as follows:
a) Align the flow arrow on the top of the sensor housing in the direction of flow.
b) Carefully press sensor straight into tee.
c) Install clevis pin through tee, sensor, and conduit cap, and install cotter ring.
Electrical Installation "Standard" sensors
1) Route the cable from the sensor to a Data Industrial flow monitor/transmitter. The cable may be extended
up to 2000 feet, using 2-conductor shielded 20 AWG or larger stranded copper wire. Be sure to leave
enough flexibility in the cable or conduit to allow for future service of sensor, if necessary.
2) When connecting to a Data Industrial flow monitor/transmitter, locate the section of terminal strip on the
monitor labeled
"SENSOR INPUT"
or
"SENSOR"
. Connect the red wire to
"IN"

3) When interfacing with other equipment consult manufacture for input designations. The signal wave forms
and power requirements are as shown in the Specifications section. Refer to Technical Bulletin 81 @

Electrical Installation "IR" sensors
The sensor leads are supplied with watertight caps over the ends.
1)
DO NOT
remove the plastic caps from the sensor leads until ready to splice. See Application Note 47 and
Technical Bulletin 52 @ www.dataindustrial.com
2) Use a
twisted pair
cable suitable for direct burial to connect the sensor to the transmitter, monitor, or
controller. Multi-pair telecommunication cable or direct burial cables may be used.
3) Make a water tight splice. Two part epoxy type waterproof kits are recommended. Be sure the epoxy seals
the ends of the cable jacket.
4) Make sure the epoxy is hardened before inverting the splice or dropping it in standing water.
5)
DO NOT
make an underground splice unless absolutely necessary.
6) Route the cable from the sensor to a Data Industrial flow monitor/transmitter. The cable may be extended
up to 2000 feet, using 2-conductor shielded 20 AWG or larger stranded copper wire with appropriate ratings.
Be sure to leave enough flexibility in the cable or conduit to allow for future service of sensor, if necessary.
