Wiring the Transmitter to the Sensor

If using jacketed cable:

a.Ground the shield drain wires (the black wire) only on the core processor end, by connecting it to the ground screw inside the lower conduit ring. Never ground to the core processor’s mounting screw. Never ground the cable at the sensor junction box.

If using shielded or armored cable:

a.Ground the shield drain wires (the black wire) only on the core processor end, by connecting it to the ground screw inside the lower conduit ring. Never ground to the core processor’s mounting screw. Never ground the cable at the sensor junction box.

b.Ground the cable braid on both ends, by terminating it inside the cable glands.

4.Ensure integrity of gaskets, grease all O-rings, then close the junction box housing and core processor end-cap, and tighten all screws.

CAUTION

Damaging the wires that connect the transmitter to the sensor can cause measurement error or flowmeter failure.

To reduce the risk of measurement error or flowmeter failure, when closing the housings on the sensor and core processor, make sure that the wires are not caught or pinched.
