REPLACING AN EXISTING K SERIES OR MODEL
500 TRANSMITTER WITH A MODEL 505
1. Remove power from the existing K Series or Model

500 Transmitter, then remove the junction box

cover.

2. Remove the transmitter module from the junction box.

Do not remove the connector board at this time.

3. Unplug the sensor from the connector board. If the

sensor is installed separately from the transmitter

junction box, disconnect the three wires from the

sensor terminal strip. Note the location of the sensor

cable shield drain wire (if used). It will be reconnected

in the same manner later.

4. Disconnect the three wires from the power and signal

terminal strip. Note the location of the shield drain

wire (if used). It will be reconnected in the same

manner later.

5. Remove the two screws, then remove the connector

board from the junction box.

6. Install the new Model 505 transmitter board in the

junction box. The mounting hole pattern of the

transmitter board should match the holes in the

existing junction box. Use standoffs if necessary

to increase the clearance between the transmitter

board and the bottom of the junction box. If a

ground lug was used, re-install it at the transmitter

board mounting hole with the exposed foil to ensure

electrical continuity.

7. Remove the plug-in connector for the power and

signal wiring from Model 505 transmitter board, and

connect the existing power supply and signal wires

at the proper locations on the connector. The proper

locations are identified on the Model 505 transmitter

board by “+ (plus), – (minus) and sig (signal)”

markings.

8. Insert the plug-in connector into the power and

signal wire receptacle on the Model 505 transmitter

board. Reconnect the power and signal cable

shield drain wire (if used) as previously installed.

Route any excess power and signal wiring inside

the junction box around the perimeter of the Model

505 transmitter board to allow easy access to the

switches and potentiometers.

9. Connect the sensor plug onto the male sensor

terminal. If the sensor is installed separately from the

transmitter junction box, connect the three sensor

wires to the sensor wiring plug-in connector. The

proper sensor wire locations are identified on the

Model 505 transmitter board by “red, wht and blk”

markings. Note the location of the sensor cable

shield drain wire (if used) and ensure that it is re-

connected as in the original wiring configuration.

10. Route the sensor wires inside the junction box around

the perimeter of the transmitter board to allow easy

access to the switches and potentiometers.

11. Apply power to the transmitter and perform “Startup

Procedure,” “Sensor Voltage Adjustment” and

“Calibration” as described in this manual.

12. Replace the junction box cover when complete.

STARTUP PROCEDURE

1. Output loads that are normally actuated by the

system should be secured (remove power from all

output devices) to prevent undesired activation of

these devices.

NOTE

Prior to calibration, it is possible for the transmitter
to generate a spurious signal output up to 20 mA
when power is first applied.

2. Double check all internal and external wiring for

proper connections. Check sensor operating voltage

if sensor separation is utilized.

3. If a controller is used, set the alarm setpoints for the

desired levels. (Refer to the controller instruction

manual.)

4. Apply power to the Model 505. Allow the transmitter/

sensor to stabilize for two hours minimum

before calibration for maximum accuracy and

repeatability.

NOTE

When power is applied to the Model 505, it enters
a 15 second time delay before beginning normal
operation. This power-up time delay allows time for
the sensor to stabilize before the signal output is
generated.
