Remotely Mounting the Transmitter continued
3.4.2 Guidelines for conduit
If sealed metallic conduit is installed, it must provide 360° termination shielding for the enclosed
flowmeter cable.
1. Install a drip leg in conduit to prevent liquids from entering the junction box.
2. Connect the sealed end of the conduit to the ¾-inch NPT female conduit opening on the sensor
junction box.
3.4.3 Guidelines for cable gland
1. Prepare cable ends and assemble the supplied cable gland according to the instructions that are
enclosed with the cable preparation kit.
2. Connect the ¾-inch NPT male cable gland to the ¾-inch NPT female conduit opening on the
sensor junction box.
3.4.4 Wiring connections to sensor
1. At the sensor, insert the ends of the individual wires into the terminals inside the sensor
junction box. Match the wire colors of the cable with the wire colors at the sensor wiring
terminal as described in Figure 3-7 and Table 3-3. No bare wire should remain exposed.
2. If possible, position the junction box on the sensor so the conduit entrance points downward to
prevent moisture from entering.
3. At the transmitter, if cable is not preinstalled, connect the cable to the transmitter terminals as
indicated in Figure 3-8.
WARNING
Failure to seal sensor junction box or transmitter
housing could cause a short circuit, which would
result in measurement error or flowmeter failure.
• Seal all conduit openings.
• Install drip legs in cable or conduit.
• Fully tighten sensor junction box and transmitter housing
covers. See Figure 3-8.
