STEP 2: MOUNT THE TRANSMITTER

Mount the transmitter at a high point in the conduit run to prevent
moisture from draining into the transmitter housing.

Typical Connection Head Installation

Head Mount Transmitter with DIN Plate Style Sensor

1. Attach the thermowell to the pipe or process container wall. Install
and tighten the thermowell before applying process pressure.

2. Assemble the transmitter to the sensor. Push the transmitter
mounting screws through the sensor mounting plate and insert the
snap rings (optional) into the transmitter mounting screw groove.

3. Wire the sensor to the transmitter.

4. Insert the transmitter-sensor assembly into the connection head.
Thread the transmitter mounting screw into the connection head
mounting holes. Assemble the extension to the connection head.
Insert the assembly into the thermowell.

5. Slip the shielded cable though the cable gland

6. Attach a cable gland into the shielded cable.

7. Insert the shielded cable leads into the connection head through
the cable entry. Connect and tighten the cable gland.

8. Connect the shielded power cable leads to the transmitter power
terminals. Avoid contact with sensor leads and sensor connections.

9. Install and tighten the connection head cover. Enclosure covers
must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.
