NOTE:

 The Detcon Warranty does not cover water damage resulting from water leaking into 

the enclosure through the conduit connections.  However, since the electronics are 100% epoxy 
encapsulated, only the wire terminations could get wet.  Moisture could cause abnormal 
operation and possibly corrosion to the terminal connections, but permanent damage to the sensor 
would not be expected.

Typical Installation 

 

NOTE:

 Any unused ports should be blocked with suitable ¾” male NPT plugs.  Detcon supplies 

one ¾” NPT male plug with their accessory J-box enclosures.  If connections are other than ¾” 
NPT, use an appropriate male plug of like construction material.

Field Wiring 

 
Detcon Model FP-700 sensor assemblies require three conductor connections between power supplies and host 
electronic controller’s 4-20mA output, and two conductor connections for the Modbus™ RS-485 serial interface.  
Wiring designations are + (DC), – (DC), mA (sensor signal), and Modbus™ RS-485 A (+), and B (-).  Maximum 
wire size for termination in the Detcon J-Box accessory is 14 gauge. 
 
Max Resistance drop on red and black wire is 10 ohms. This considers wire diameter, wire length and maximum 
operation temperature.
