Sensor leads
If the sensor is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault condition or installation error
occurs, the sensor leads and transmitter terminals could carry lethal voltages. Use extreme
caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
Use the following steps to wire the sensor and supply power to the transmitter:
1. Remove the transmitter enclosure cover (if applicable).
2. Attach the sensor leads according to the wiring diagrams.
3. Connect the Power Module.
4. Verify the connection.
5. Reattach and tighten the cover (if applicable).
