TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION
Transmitter Location
Mount the enclosure in an area that is convenient for servicing, calibration and observation of the LCD readout (if equipped).
1. Locate the transmitter within the length of transducer cables supplied. If this is not possible, exchange the cable for one
that is of proper length.
2. Mount the transmitter in a location:
◊ Where little vibration exists.
◊ That is protected from corrosive fluids.
◊ That is within the transmitters ambient temperature limits –40…185° F (–40…85° C).
◊ That is out of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may increase transmitter temperature to above the maximum limit.
3. See Figure 6 for enclosure and mounting dimension details. Allow enough room for door swing, maintenance and conduit
entrances.
4. Secure the enclosure to a at surface with two fasteners.
5. Feed the cables through the conduit holes in the enclosure. Use plugs to seal any unused holes.
OTE:N Use NEMA 4 (IP-65) rated fittings/plugs to maintain the watertight integrity of the enclosure. Generally, the right side
conduit hole (viewed from front) is used for power, the bottom conduit hole(s) for transducer connections.

Figure 6: Transmitter enclosure dimensions
The remote mount transmitter has three conduit holes in the flow meter enclosure that should be suitable for most
installations. Use a sealed cord grip or NEMA 4 conduit connection to retain the NEMA 3 integrity of the flow meter enclosure.
Failure to do so will void the manufacturer’s warranty and can lead to product failure.
The TFXL meter is housed in an insulating plastic enclosure that does not provide continuity of bonding between field wiring
conduit and the TFXL meter chassis or other conduits connected to the enclosure.
