Wire Securely to Terminals and Route Neatly

Refer to the Process Monitoring System Installation and Startup
Manual for the proper wire insulation strip length for each terminal
block. The proper strip length will be long enough to guarantee that
the terminal grips the bare wire and not the insulation, yet short
enough to minimize the risk of shorting exposed bare wires projecting
from adjacent terminals.
After stripping the insulation, twist strands of stranded wire together
prior to inserting into terminal so that all strands are gripped by the
terminal.
Securely tighten the terminal.
Tug gently on wire after installation to ensure the wire is being well
gripped by the terminal.
Route the wire neatly in the lower portion of the transmitter and secure
with wire ties to keep the wires from getting pinched when the cover
closes, to keep the wires away from the circuit boards, and to keep the
three groupings of wire separated from each other (mains power,
incendive customer I/O, and sensor signals). Do not store excessive
amounts of excess wire inside the transmitter.
8.6

No Foreign Objects

Do not store tools or extraneous loose items inside the transmitter or
sensor head enclosures.
8.7

Avoid Leaky Pipes

Do not install the sensor band on pipes that are likely to leak. If there
is doubt, perform the appropriate pipe inspections to look for evidence
of an impending leak prior to installation of the sensor band. (See
also paragraph 7.6.)
8.8

Seal Sensor Head Cover

Ensure sensor head cover gaskets are in good condition and mate
properly to each other and to the pipe. Connect all latches and
properly install the clamps on the boot gaskets.
8.9

Secure The Access Panel.

Use the access panel opening to access the sensor band cable
connector and connect it to the preamplifier. This operation is
performed after the sensor head cover is secured onto the pipe.
Afterwards, securely re-install the access panel to seal that opening.
