7. Attach the sensor to the junction box. Do
not
over
tighten.
NOTE
Coat the sensor threads with an appropriate 
grease to ease installation. Also lubricate the 
junction box cover threads. The recommended 
lubricant is a silicone free polyalphaolefin grease, 
available from Detector Electronics. If catalytic 
combustible sensors are present, do not use a 
silicone based grease.
8. Connect the sensor wires to the sensor terminal
block inside the junction box. (See Figure 6.) 
Connect the controller wiring to the controller 
terminal block inside the junction box. 
Connect the shield to earth ground at the controller 
end only. Under normal conditions, the other end 
of the shield should not be connected at the sensor 
junction box.
The wiring code is:
Red
lead =
“+/power”
Black
lead
=
“-/signal”
Green lead = Chassis (earth) ground
In order to maintain the intrinsically safe rating of the 
C7067E chlorine sensor, it must be wired through an 
approved I.S. barrier. See Figure 7.
NOTE
When an I.S. barrier is used, the input voltage 
(measured at the controller) must be between 23 
and 26.6 vdc to ensure proper operation of the 
sensor and barrier.
9. Check the sensor wiring to ensure proper
connections, then pour the conduit seals and allow 
them to dry (if conduit is being used).
10. Place the cover back on the junction box.
