To mount the MS2700E transmitter:
1. Align the keyways of the transmitter and probe connectors.
2. Insert the transmitter connector plug fully into the probe connector receptacle.
3. Secure the transmitter to the top of the probe by tightening the coupling nut.
NOTE: Hand ‐ tight is sufficient. Do not over ‐ tighten the coupling nut.
NOTE: Never force the connectors to mate. If there is resistance, stop and check for bent pins on
the probe and for foreign material in the female sockets of the transmitter connector. Gently
straighten any bent pins and clear any foreign material that may be found.

b. Remote Mounting
When it is not practical to direct ‐ probe mount the MS2700E transmitter, the unit can be remote
mounted instead. In this case the instrument is mounted to a separate mounting pole using the
optional Remote Mounting Hardware Kit. The transmitter is then connected to the ER probe via the
optional probe extension cable. When possible, the transmitter should be mounted within 10’ (3m) of
the probe to keep the probe cabling short and minimize signal degradation.
2. Power and Data Connections
a. Making Connections
The RS ‐ 485 connections are made via the external 6 ‐ pin circular connector CN1 as shown in Figure 3.
This hermetically sealed connector prevents moisture ingress and eliminates the need for internal
wiring by an operator, thus reducing the risk of physical damage to the circuit board.
