3.7 Installing the Electrolytic Cell and Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor
Please choose one of the following instructions to either install or replace the cell and sensor assembly.
3.7.1 New Installation
3.7.2 Replacement of Existing 3-Port Cell
3.7.3 Replacement of 2-Port (square) Cell and Sensor Tee with 3-Port Cell
NOTE: Maximum operating Pressure is 345 kPa or 50 PSI - Minimum Flow Rate is 30 GPM (114 LPM).

6. Install the ow/temp/salinitysensor into the 3-Port cell. See Figure 11.
7. Install the strain relief provided with the electrolytic cell kit into the low voltage knock out. Feed
the connector end of the ow/temp/salinitysensorcablethroughtheDCcordstrainrelieftting.Be
certain the connector is clean and dry, then plug the cable into the connector on the power center
printed circuit board as shown in Figures 2a, 2b, and 2c. (Do not pull Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor
cable too tight, allow a little slack).
8. Plug the DC cord into the cell stud terminals protruding from the cell top. The DC cord can be plugged
into the cell in either direction.
