4 46-648 Jupiter Magnetostrictive Transmitters
1.0 Installation
Caution: If equipment is used in a manner not specified by manu-
facturer, protection provided by equipment may be
impaired
This section provides detailed procedures for properly
installing, wiring, configuring and, if needed, trouble-
shooting the Jupiter magnetostrictive level transmitter.
In most cases externally mounted units will be shipped
from the factory attached to the Orion Instruments
magnetic level indicator.
1.1 Unpacking
Caution: Do not rotate the Jupiter electronics enclosure or any
threaded fittings. Rotating the electronics enclosure will
void warranty and could cause damage to sensor cables.
Unpack the instrument carefully. Inspect all units for
damage. Report any concealed damage to carrier within
24 hours. Check the contents against the packing slip and
purchase order. Check and record the serial number for
future reference when ordering parts.
Caution: Do not discard the shipping container until all parts are
accounted for and inspected.
1.2 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Handling Procedure
Magnetrol/Orion’s electronic instruments are manufac-
tured to the highest quality standards. These instruments
use electronic components that may be damaged by static
electricity present in most work environments.
The following steps are recommended to reduce the risk of
component failure due to electrostatic discharge.
• Ship and store circuit boards in anti-static bags. If an anti-
static bag is not available, wrap the board in aluminum
foil. Do not place boards on foam packing materials.
• Use a grounding wrist strap when installing and removing
circuit boards. A grounded workstation is recommended.
• Handle circuit boards only by the edges. Do not touch
components or connector pins.
• Make sure that all electrical connections are completely
made and none are partial or floating. Ground all equip-
ment to a good, earth ground.
