Standard Installation Materials
Recommended standard materials should be selected and installed per all applicable local, state and federal codes
governing the installation of this product and its associated systems. Please see the corresponding console/module wiring
section or the associated devices section of this manual for complete installation details.
Cables Required for Liquid Level Probes, VFMs & 4-20 mA Sensors
Use cables and wires compliant with national and local codes. INCON recommends using the types of cable shown below
up to a recommended length of:
• Belden No. 87760 87760 (0.15” or 3.048 mm OD) to 260 feet (80 m)
• Belden No. 87761* (0.12” or 3.048 mm OD) to 400 feet (120 m)
• Belden No. 88761 88761 (0.12” or 3.048 mm OD) to 400 feet (120 m)
• Belden No. 89182* (0.31” or 7.874 mm OD) to 1500 feet (450 m)
Note: An asterisk (*) denotes a cable that may be ordered from INCON.
Note: Conductors of different intrinsically safe (IS) circuits may be run together within the same conduit, and, when they
do, they should have at least .01 inches (.25 mm) of insulation.
Cable or Wire for 2-Wire or 3-Wire Sensors
2-wire or 3-wire sensor wire (type THHN, TFFN, or THWN, gas and oil resistant, 18 AWG minimum, 1500 feet max. wire
run length) can be used when enclosed within rigid metal conduit from the sensor to the console.
Leak detection sensor cable is required when NOT run through rigid metal conduit. Refer to the Direct Burial
Cable – Installation Manual (P/N 000-1041) for further information. See below for cable types and descriptions:
Alpha 58411 (INCON P/N 600-0062)
Two conductor cable for standard, 2 conductor leak
detection sensors (0.114 inch (2.9 mm) O.D.)
Wire required for the TS-5 Series Console
• 3 conductors: Power – 14 GA to 12 GA Max. – Black, White, and Green
• 1 conductors: Safety Ground – 12 AWG Green (2 may be required in some locations)
• As required conductors: Accessories – Type THHN, TFFN, or THWN, 18 AWG minimum
Circuit Breaker
20 Amp — providing power only for the TS-5 Series System, one required per console
Weatherproof Junction Boxes
Minimum 16 cubic inch (406.4 cubic mm) weatherproof junction box, cover, and cover gasket for the manholes of: liquid
level probes and leak detection sensors. See our sales literature for part numbers for ½ and ¾ inch (12.7 mm and 19.05
mm) conduit junction boxes and recommended manufacturers. Also use ¾ to ½ inch (12.7 mm to 19.05 mm) bushings for
probe/sensor compression fittings.
Use a weatherproof metal pull box for combining several circuits that will run into the TS-5 Series console through
one or more conduits. Use a separate weatherproof metal pull box to combine intrinsically safe (IS) liquid level probe and
leak detection sensor wiring. Do not run other non-intrinsically safe wiring within the IS pull box. Run ½ or ¾ inch (12.7
mm or 19.05 mm) IS probe or sensor conduit from the manholes to the IS pull box, and then run up to four ½ or ¾ inch
(12.7 mm or 19.05 mm) conduits to the console’s IS conduit knockouts.
Conduit
Rigid metal conduit (RMC) - male NPT threaded: use ½ or ¾ inch (12.7 mm or 19.05 mm) for IS probe and sensor wiring
to the console (from the manholes, use ½ or ¾ inch conduit), and use ½ or ¾ inch (12.7 mm or 19.05 mm) for non-
intrinsically safe accessories and power wiring.
Use conduit hardware that is appropriate for the installation and meets local, state and federal requirements.
