Electrical installation
DANGER
Electrocution hazard. Only qualified personnel should conduct the installation 
tasks described in this section of the manual. 
DANGER
Electrocution hazard. Always install a ground fault interrupt circuit (GFIC)/ residual 
current circuit breaker (rccb) with a maximum trigger current of 30 mA. If installed 
outside, provide overvoltage protection.
If installed outdoors, provide overvoltage protection between the power and the sc1000 
controller. Make sure the data and power cables do not cause tripping and do not contain 
any sharp bends. Refer to 
 for housing breakout information. 
High-voltage wiring for the controller is conducted behind the high voltage barrier in the 
controller enclosure. The barrier must remain in place unless a qualified installation 
technician is installing wiring for power, alarms, or relays. See 
 for barrier 
removal information.
The instrument can be wired for line power by hard-wiring in conduit or by wiring to a 
power cord if allowed by local electrical code. A local disconnect designed to meet local 
electrical code is required and must be identified for all types of installation. 
Do not connect the electrical power supply to the AC power until the sc1000 controller 
has been fully wired, fused, and the high voltage barrier and probe module cover have 
been replaced.
3.4.1 Installation in hard-wired applications
In hard-wired electrical applications, the power and safety ground service drops for the 
instrument must be 18 to 12 AWG. A sealing-type strain relief must be used to maintain 
the IP65 environmental rating. See 
 for strain relief and conduit opening sealing 
plug assembly. See 
 for wiring information.
Note: There is no on/off switch to disconnect the probe module from AC Power.
