Safety Precautions
- Electrical connection must be carried out by specialized personnel only. Read safety manual instructions before connecting to power.
- Do not make electrical connections with device connected to power.
- Do not run other cables through the designated power cable gland.
- Have a disconnect switch installed in the vicinity of the instrument to ensure electrical circuit is de-energized for installation.
Connecting to Power
- Loosen the four screws, enough for the springs to push them out.
- Grasp the front bezel and swing open to access the two-terminal power supply board.
- Remove the safety cover to access Terminal 1 block (power path).
- Remove the blank plug and thread the cable through the power cable gland.
- Connect the power cable leads to the removable terminal connector marked POWER.
- Follow L (live), PE (ground), N (neutral) lead markings for correct wiring of output leads.
- Carefully put wired terminal connector into place on the board.
- Replace safety cover over Terminal 1.
Controller Wiring
- High voltage connections: POWER, ALARM, REL 1 to REL 5 (relays) are made to the Terminal 1 block.
- Low voltage connections: COMM (RS-485), PROBE1, IN1 and IN2 (digital inputs), A01 to A04 (analog outputs), and PROBE2 are made to the raised Terminal 2 block.
- Follow the positive/negative lead markings to ensure that output leads are wired to the correct position on the main board.

- Ensure the controller is not powered.
- Run the probe cable through the conduit opening.
- Connect probe leads to the removable terminal connector marked PROBE1 or PROBE2.
Follow the lead markings (positive / negative) for correct wiring. - Carefully put the wired terminal connector into place on the board.
- Position excess cable through the cable gland before tightening the nut.
- Remove the ground screw and hardware located below the PROBE1 or PROBE2 connector. Attach the ground lead (
). Probe cabling color code
