1. If you plan to run the coaxial cable in conduit, carefully cut the conduit to the desired
length to provide for proper assembly at the housing. A junction box may be placed in the
conduit run to provide a space for extra coaxial cable length.
CAUTION
The coaxial remote cable cannot be field terminated or cut to length. Coil any extra coaxial
cable with no less than a 2-in. (51 mm) radius.
2. Slide the conduit adapter or cable gland over the loose end of the coaxial cable and
fasten it to the adapter on the meter body support tube.
3. If using conduit, route the coaxial cable through the conduit.
4. Place a conduit adapter or cable gland over the end of the coaxial cable.
5. Remove the housing adapter from the electronics housing.
6. Slide the housing adapter over the coaxial cable.
7. Remove one of the four housing base screws.
8. Attach and securely tighten the coaxial cable nut to the connection on the electronics
housing.
9. Attach the coaxial cable ground wire to the housing via the housing base ground screw.
10. Align the housing adapter with the housing and attach with three screws.
11. Tighten the conduit adapter or cable gland to the housing adapter.
CAUTION
To prevent moisture from entering the coaxial cable connections, install the interconnecting
coaxial cable in a single dedicated conduit run or use sealed cable glands at both ends of
the cable.
NOTE
Refer to the User Manual for details for the CPA option.

OTATION
The entire electronics housing may be rotated in 90° increments for easy viewing. Use the
following steps to change the housing orientation:
1. Loosen the three housing rotation set screws at the base of the electronics housing with
a 5/32" hex wrench by turning the screws clockwise (inward) until they clear the support
tube.
2. Slowly pull the electronics housing out of the support tube.
CAUTION
Do not pull the housing more than 1.5-in. (40 mm) from the top of the support tube until the
sensor cable is disconnected. Damage to the sensor may occur if this sensor cable is
stressed.
3. Unscrew the sensor cable from the housing with a 5/16-in. open end wrench.
4. Rotate the housing to the desired orientation.
5. Hold it in this orientation while you screw the sensor cable onto the base of the housing.
