INSTALLATION
 
Page:  18 
Install conduit as required.  Provide for splice boxes where 
multiple modules will be wired to a single run.  Pull 3 
(typical: white, black, green)  conductors of the correct 
gauge wire from the controller to each splice box and from 
the respective splice box to each planned module location.  
See  Figure  3-5 for proper wire termination in the splice 
box.  Twisted wire secured with wire nuts is  not an 
acceptable splice. 
NOTE 
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the 
National Electrical Code 
In installations where redundancy of module locations is a 
requirement do not install multiple modules on one cabling 
run as any damage to the primary wiring will disable all the 
modules. 
NOTE 
Temperature rating of cable wire insulation must be 
above 75oC (85oC or greater rating wiring is 
recommended).  If cable runs through higher temperature 
environments, it should be specified for that environment. 
3.4  SENSOR MODULE INSTALLATION 
Note: Remove spring from the electromechanical 
sensor (5100-04 through 5100-23) prior to installation. 
See technical note provided with sensor module. 
1.  Remove the electronics from the module housing 
by: 
• 
Unscrew the two captive panel screws in the 
top plate. 
• 
Lift the electronics out of the housing. 
• 
Unplug the sensor harness from the bottom 
electronics board.  
2.  Install the module housing onto the end of the 
supply conduit and/or bolt into position as 
required. 
Note 
If housing grounding is required for the installation a 
grounding lug is located under the two printed circuit 
assemblies in the housing. Install the ground wire under 
the green lug. 
Figure 3-5
 
3.  Connect the three wires which run from the 
controller to the three position terminal strip on the 
bottom of the electronics assembly.  See Table 3-3 
for terminal markings and normal wiring color 
code conventions.  Figure  3-7 shows the correct 
wiring connections and the operation of the 
connector mechanism.

4.  Reconnect the sensor harness to the sensor 
connector on the bottom of the electronic 
assembly. Figure 3-7. 
5.  Twist the assembly 180
o
 to take up the service 
loop on both the incoming wire and the sensor 
harness.  With the sensor facing down the wording 
on the cover plate will be correctly oriented. 
6.  Carefully fit the electronics over the two posts in 
the housing and tighten the captive panel screws.

7.  Set the dip switch  Figure  3-8 on each module to 
indicate the module number  (Table  3-4).  Each of 
the modules connected to one controller must have 
a different address. (Note: Switch position 4 is not 
used.)
