FLOWMETER AND CABLES
The flowmeter tee must be grounded. If metal
piping is used, sufficient grounding may be
present. However, Victaulic joints, plastic pipe
and rubber mounted pumps interfere with
proper grounding and an additional ground
strap is required. Connect a braided ground
strap at least
1
/4 inch [6 mm] wide from the
flowmeter tee to the apparatus frame to ensure
proper grounding. A #6-32 UNC tapped hole is
provided on the flowmeter tee for attaching the
ground strap.
Making round coils of extra control and
flowmeter cables in the pump compartment can
act as an antenna. While the flowmeter and
control cables cannot be shortened, various
lengths of cable are available to minimize the
"extra" cable in the truck. (See the parts list in
Section 13 for part numbers of different size
control and flowmeter cables.) When routing
control and flowmeter cables, avoid routing
them next to antenna cables, radio power lines
and radio components. When there is extra
cable, double the cable back on itself and
secure in a flat bundle with plastic wire ties
instead of making a round coil (see Figure 20).
