Model 295, 296 Mechanical Installation
1. The transmitter is attached to the ow meter’s threaded magnet shield. Hand tighten only. (~ 3 ft-lb)
2. The transmitter lid has four thread paths. To realign the cable, remove the lid and rotate up to 180°
and retighten using an alternate starting point. Tighten to compress the O-ring seal.
Removal
1. Remove electrical connections
2. Unscrew transmitter, using a wrench if necessary.
Removal note: The transmitter does not need to be removed from the ow meter for any eld servicing or adjustments.
Normally, the ow meter and transmitter are shipped back to the factory for calibration or service as a unit. If the
transmitter needs to be removed from the ow meter for installation, be sure to retighten the transmitter snugly in order
to ensure proper sensor alignment.
Moisture Protection
On all models, the housing is designed as a liquid and vapor-tight enclosure. There are O—ring seals
at the lid and possibly also the base of the housing — these need to be fully seated. A properly sealed
transmitter will prevent the formation of damaging moisture inside the housing.
Turck connector Model: The connector is sealed to the lid at the factory and is ready for use.
NPT Model: To ensure a moisture-tight seal, apply appropriate sealant to the threads at installation.
Electrical Installation
Wiring
The electrical connector versions are pre-wired inside the transmitter and ready to accept a mating
cable (available from the factory). The liquid-tight, NPT models need to be wired during installation
as shown in the table below:
