3.4.2Guidelines for conduit

If sealed metallic conduit is installed, it must provide 360° termination shielding for the enclosed flowmeter cable.

1.Install a drip leg in conduit to prevent liquids from entering the junction box.

2.Connect the sealed end of the conduit to the ¾-inch NPT female conduit opening on the sensor junction box.

3.4.3Guidelines for cable gland

1.Prepare cable ends and assemble the supplied cable gland according to the instructions that are enclosed with the cable preparation kit.

2.Connect the ¾-inch NPT male cable gland to the ¾-inch NPT female conduit opening on the sensor junction box.

3.4.4Wiring connections to sensor

1.At the sensor, insert the ends of the individual wires into the terminals inside the sensor junction box. Match the wire colors of the cable with the wire colors at the sensor wiring terminal as described in Figure 3-7and Table 3-3.No bare wire should remain exposed.

2.If possible, position the junction box on the sensor so the conduit entrance points downward to prevent moisture from entering.

3.At the transmitter, if cable is not preinstalled, connect the cable to the transmitter terminals as indicated in Figure 3-8.

WARNING

Failure to seal sensor junction box or transmitter housing could cause a short circuit, which would result in measurement error or flowmeter failure.

•Seal all conduit openings.

•Install drip legs in cable or conduit.

•Fully tighten sensor junction box and transmitter housing covers. See Figure 3-8.
