Electrical Installation
The transmitter includes a wiring pigtail and 2 part connector - use of the pigtail is optional and direct wiring to the PCA is
recommended if the circuit board is accessible. Use wiring that is between 20 and 28 gauge and rated to at least 5°C above the
maximum ambient temperature, and rated to at least 80% of the maximum fluid temperature. Cut back the cable bundles' outer
sheath several inches to make it easier to coil the wire loop inside the housing. The pigtail connector's terminals correspond to the
terminal block on the PCA. Refer to the diagram below for wire number and functions.

Temperature Classification
Temperature class is a function of fluid temperature
used in the meter and ambient temperature. For
hot fluids, meter must be insulated and transmitter
must be left exposed. All transmitters are rated to
operate within the BLUE region, but only the remote
sender unit variants (EX29x-x5x-xxx or EX29x-x5x-
xxx-S) can operate up to the maximum temperatures
shown in the chart. Consult factory for installation
details when operating near temperature limits.
Note: Consult factory to determine the functional
temperature limit of your transmitter variant.
Temperature class ratings do not correspond with
the continuous duty area for the electronics within
the transmitter. A complete description of your
transmitter may be found on the Max Machinery
web site (www.maxmachinery.com). Individual
specification sheets and product family manuals are
also available for viewing or downloading.
