Figure 10 Typical Installation
NOTE: For products utilizing the aluminum junction box option, the conduit seal shall be placed
at the entry to the junction box (see Figure 10 as an example). For products utilizing the stainless
steel junction box option, the conduit seal shall be placed within 18” of the enclosure. Crouse
Hinds type EYS2, EYD2 or equivalent are suitable for this purpose.
NOTE: The Detcon Warranty does not cover water damage resulting from water leaking into
the enclosure through the conduit connections. However, since the electronics are 100% epoxy
encapsulated, only the wire terminations could get wet. Moisture could cause abnormal
operation and possibly corrosion to the terminal connections, but permanent damage to the sensor
NOTE: Any unused ports should be blocked with suitable ¾” male NPT plugs. Detcon Supplies
one ¾” NPT male plug with their accessory J-box enclosures. If connections are other than ¾”
NPT, use an appropriate male plug of like construction material.

S sensor assemblies require three conductor connections between power
supplies and host electronic controller’s 4-20mA output, and 2 conductor connections for the Modbus™ RS-485
serial interface. Wiring designations are + (DC), – (DC), mA (sensor signal), and Modbus™ RS-485 A (+), and
B (-). Maximum wire size for termination in the Detcon J-Box accessory is 14 gauge.
