INSTALLATION

2.Bracket to Pipe Mounting

1)At the selected location on the pipe, place the pipe-groove side of the mounting bracket against the pipe. See Figure 4-6.

2)Slip the supplied U-bolt around the pipe and through one of the two pairs of mounting holes in the pipe-groove face plate of the bracket.

3)Place a supplied washer and hex nut on each end of the U-bolt and hand tighten the nuts. Rotate the bracket around the pipe to place the Transmitter in the desired position, then secure the bracket to the pipe.

3.Reposition the Transmitter's local display (if any) to provide the best possible view of the display. Refer to Section 4.4.4.

4.4.2 Flat Surface Mounting

A Transmitter can be mounted to a flat surface using the supplied mounting bracket and user supplied 5/16-inch bolts.

Refer to Figures 4-5 and 4-6 and the following for mounting guidance:

1.Bracket To Flat Surface Mounting

1)Refer to Figure 4-5 for the bracket mounting hole dimensions.

2)Layout the mounting hole pattern on the selected area of the surface. Drill 0.344-inch diameter mounting holes to accept 5/16-inch bolts.

The thickness of the mounting surface and bracket height above the surface are factors in determining the required length of the mounting bolts.

3)Place the pipe-groove side of the bracket against the mounting surface site and align the bracket and surface mounting holes. Install the bracket with user supplied 5/16-inch bolts, washers, and hex nuts.

2.Transmitter To Bracket Mounting

1)Mount transmitter to bracket as described in Section 4.4.1, step 1.

2)Reposition the Transmitter's local display (if any) to provide the best possible view of the display. Refer to Section 4.4.4.
