120 VAC (651K7)
Remove cover.
Observe all applicable electrical codes and recognized wiring practices.
Remove two #4 mounting screws and slide out PC board to expose green ground screw
(Internal Primary Equipment Ground/Earth) in base of housing.
Connect ground wire to green ground screw on base of housing.
(Ground wire should be a minimum of 18-AWG.)
Reposition PC board, replace and tighten mounting screws. Ensure that banana
plug on sensor lead wire is secure in sensor jack.
Connect hot line power wire (typically black)
to L1 position on screw clamp terminal block.
Connect neutral line power wire (typically white)
to N position on screw clamp terminal block.
Replace cover.
Apply power as desired.

IMPORTANT! Do not
provide separate earth
grounding for the process
connection. This can create
a parallel grounding circuit
that will impair operation
and calibration.
