6.3.4.5.2 Armored cable installation
For those installations that will use armored cable between the sensor
head and transmitter, install the P/N 20448-01 transmitter housing
stiffener plate (shipped with the armored cable) in the transmitter
housing. Ensure the plate is installed with the bent edge up and
located toward the front of the transmitter housing. The stiffener plate
is held in place by the cable gland fittings.
Figure 16 Armored Cable Stiffener Plate Installation
Armored cable is shipped with the appropriate connector pre-installed
on the cable and with the cable prepared for installation in the
transmitter. Armored cable installation is similar to the non-armored
installation except for the following.
Cut the cable to desired length (if necessary) using a hacksaw to
cut through the armor and remove about 14” (36 cm) of outer
jacket from the transmitter end of the cable.
Cut the armor 1-
3/8” (35mm) from the outer jacket using a Roto-
Split
®
(or equivalent) armor cutter. Twist the armor off of the cable.
Figure 17 Removal of Cable Armor
Install the armored cable connector by first removing the white end
stop from the fitting and sliding the connector over the cable.
