Mounting teMPerAture Probe
Location Guidelines:
• Ensure that the temperature probe does not come in contact with the liquid during normal fill and during
overfill conditions. The probe may be damaged if it comes in contact with the liquid during these
conditions.
• Temperature probe may be mounted pointing in any direction.
• Mount the temperature probe so that an average or representative air temperature in the vessel is read.
• Temperature probe has a 1/4” NPT mount. It can be mounted on the same flange with the transducer or
through use of a small bracket that will allow for a hanger type mounting within the vessel.
• Many users find it convenient to mount the temperature probe near the transducer. If mounted in this
way, the temperature probe cable can be run through the same conduit as the transducer cable.
drilling holes in the enclosure
If the standard fiberglass NEMA 4X rated enclosure has no openings or pre-drilled punch-outs through which
to route cables or install the conduit, holes will need to be drilled. Hole location is critical for proper conduit
installation. Check clearances to ensure that the fittings and wire routing will not interfere with the PCB or
enclosure door.
PrePAre the enclosure for conduit
1. Open door of the enclosure.
2. Remove all four (4) mounting screws that attach the plate to the enclosure.
3. Remove entire frame, and place in a safe location.
4. Drill holes for wiring and cables. Holes should be made in the front 2 inches of the the bottom of the
enclosure (see Drawing SK90010); this allows for appropriate spacing for the unit and cables.
4.1. Make a hole for AC cable and relay wiring.
4.2. Make a hole for sensor cable.
4.3 Make a hole for 4-20mA wiring.
5. Clean enclosure of any debris; replace the plate back into the enclosure, using all four (4) mounting
screws.
6. Determine desired location for mounting the unit.
Mounting Junction box
Mount the junction box close enough to the transducer to use the supplied 10’ (3.0 m) transducer cable without
splicing. Mount the junction box so that water cannot reach the terminal block.
1. See Figure 3: Junction Box Mounting and Wiring. Hold the junction box at the desired location and mark
the positions of the mounting holes. Place the junction box in a safe place.
