 Model D and DT Sensors Instruction Manual
Wiring continued
1. Locate the wires by color and terminal number.
2. Insert the stripped ends of the individual wires into the terminal 
blocks. No bare wires should remain exposed.
• At the sensor, connect wiring inside the junction box.
• At the transmitter, connect wiring to the transmitter’s intrinsically 
safe terminals for sensor wiring.
3. Tighten the screws to hold the wires in place.
4. Ensure integrity of gaskets, then tightly close and seal the 
junction-box cover and all housing covers on the transmitter.

CAUTION
Drain wires from a 9-wire cable must be clipped at the 
sensor end and insulated with heat-shrink wrapping. 
Failure to properly terminate drain wires will cause 
sensor error.
