Integral or Remote configuration.
2.4.5.1 Integral Mount
ΠRemove the protective plastic cap from the top of the
probe. Store the cap in a safe place in case the transmitter
has to be removed later.
 Place the transmitter on the probe. Be careful not to bend
probe. Do not allow the gold, high frequency (male) con-
nector to get dirty.
Ž Align the universal connection at the base of the transmitter
housing with the top of the probe. Hand-tighten the
connection.
 Rotate the transmitter to face the most convenient direction
for wiring, configuration, and viewing.
