6502 – BREAKOUT BOX
Figure 1
The 6502 Breakout Box is required when
deploying the sonde longer than the field cable
length from the monitor. The Breakout Box has
one MS-8 connector for connection to the sonde
cable and one conduit fitting for connection with
the YSI #6508 Junction Box. For direct
connection to the 6500 Monitor, a #6507 Patch
Cable and Gland Fitting (YSI 064007) are
required.
6502 Breakout Box, 6” x 4” x 4”
The Breakout Box may be mounted on a wall or to a vertical pipe or handrail that is 1 to 1½
inches in diameter. Rail mounting the 6502 Breakout Box requires the optional the 6509 Rail
Mounting Kit. The location of the 6502 Breakout Box should be elevated and in a dry place
above potential flood level. The Breakout Box should be easily accessible for an operator or
technician.
The 6502 Breakout Box should not be mounted on hot or vibrating pipe or structure, near a high
heat source, near an AC motor or transformer, radio transmitter or antenna.
Do not mount on electrical conduit.
WALL MOUNTING
Although the Breakout Box is designed for outdoor deployment, some operators may prefer the
convenience of reading the monitor under shelter, for example, inside a nearby building. Figure 4
shows this indoor type of installation. Wall-mounting the Breakout Box is a simple process using
the enclosed mounting hardware.
The following steps should be followed when wall mounting the Breakout Box.
1.
Loosely fasten the mounting brackets (included) to the back of the Breakout Box with the
mounting screws provided.
2.
Tighten the screws, securing the brackets to the Breakout Box.
3.
Loosely fasten the Breakout Box to the mounting surface with the mounting screws
provided.
4. Tighten the screws, securing the Monitor to the surface.
