Prior to installation and wiring. 
1.  Remove the transmitter from the module housing by: 
  Unscrew the two captive panel screws in the face plate. 
  Lift the transmitter out of the enclosure housing. 
  Unplug the sensor cable from transmitter assembly connector J1. 
  Remove the sensor assembly from the enclosure hub. 
2.  Install the module housing onto the end of the supply conduit and/or bolt into position as required. 
NOTES 
When housing earth grounding is required for the installation a grounding lug is located in the 
base of the enclosure. Install the earth ground wire under the green lug. 
4.4 TRANSMITTER AND SENSOR INSTALLATION 
When all pre-wire is complete:  
1.  Install sensor assembly in the open hub on the module enclosure. The sensor assembly thread 
must be fully seated into the hub and tightened to maintain explosion proof assembly. 
2.  Connect the sensor assembly cable to top transmitter board connector J1. 
3.  Align the headers between the top transmitter board and the lower termination board and push 
together. 
4.  Turn rotary switch to correct sensor address if required. 
5.  Carefully return the transmitter to the enclosure installing it over the two stand-off’s. Tighten the 
retaining screws into the stand-offs. 
6.  Cycle power to accept module address change.
