3.4 CONNECTING THE TRANSDUCER SIGNAL CABLES

ONICON F-4000 transducer cables are special purpose coaxial cables. Care must be taken when
installing the cables to ensure that electrical noise will not affect the performance of the meter.
The cables must NOT be bundled or run in conduit with any other signal or power cables. The
maximum allowable cable length is 300 ft.

To install the cables, first locate and install the wall-mount electronics enclosure and the
transducers.

The transducer cables are provided with connectors already
installed at one end of the cable. Install this end of each
cable at the electronics enclosure as shown below using the
right angle adapters provided. When installing the cable,
avoid routing it close to strong sources of electrical noise,
and do not install cables in raceways with power or other
signal cables.

Once the correct cable length has been determined, install
the F-connectors provided to terminate the end of each cable.
