INSTALLATION
Meter Mount.
If the FT430/440/450 indicator was ordered
as a meter mount model, the housing is already mounted
directly to the flow sensor and needs no further installation.
An FT430/440 module can be converted from a wall-mount
to an IP meter-mount unit using the mounting kit (contact
distributor) that includes a lower housing and associated
hardware and installs as follows:
1.
Remove the strain relief through which the flow
sensor cable runs.
2. Cut the cable to about 6” in length. Carefully strip
the cable jacket to expose the three colored wires
(red, white, and black) inside.
3. Route the wires through the threaded connector
pre-installed in the bottom of the housing.
4. Start the threaded connector into the female thread
on the top of the flow sensor. Be sure to match the
oblong shape on the bottom of the housing to the
depression on the top of the flow sensor.
5. Using an ordinary screwdriver inserted in one side
of the slot (see drawing), tighten the screw as much
as possible.
6.
Strip the wire ends, make the connections to the
indicator as shown in Connections Diagrams, and
then use the cover screws to attach the indicator to
the top of the housing.
Wall Mount.
To mount an FT430/440/450 indicator to
the wall, hold the unit in the desired position, mark the
holes in the mounting feet, drill and mount with screws.
A meter-mounted indicator can be converted to a wall
mount using an adapter mounting kit. Contact distributor
for information.
Wall mount housings for FT units are supplied with 3 cord
grips of different sizes. Be sure to use the appropriate sized
cord grip for your cable or cables and to assure any unused
cord grips are well sealed with a properly sized plug (these
plugs will come in the cord grips that are supplied with the
wall mount housing when shipped from the factory.) There
will be a properly sized cord grip for any cable supplied by
Seametrics.
