Sensor Connection
The flow meter sensor is connected using the MS style connector located on the right side of the
enclosure. If a flowmeter cable was not supplied, follow the sensor connector diagram for cable
wiring instructions. Shielded cable is required! Do not connect the shield at the sensor end!

Pin D => Shield Connection (to Earth Ground )
Using a
ΑSinking≅ Sensor
The LLC-E-BA accepts an
Αactive≅ or Αsourcing≅ sensor output as standard. For sensors providing
an
Αopen collector≅ or Αsinking≅ output, a pull-up resistor is required for operation as shown in the
LLC Input Circuit Detail below. The value of the pull-up resistor is selected so as to not exceed the
current rating of the pick-up output. Typical pull-up values range from 2.2K
Ω
to 5.1K
Ω
. The LLC-E-
BA enclosure must be opened to install the pull-up resistor. The resistor is installed on the rear of the
LLC display module to terminals 1 and 3 on the upper connector. See Resistor Connection Detail
below for pull-up resistor installation.
