INSTALLING A FLEX TRANSMITTER IN THE MC01 CASE:

The flex assembly can be quickly and easily installed in the MC01 case as follows:

  1. Insert and seal the sensor in a metal sensor tube with fittings suitable for attaching to the electrical box or other electronic enclosure.

  2. Feed the transmitter section of the flex assembly through the sensor tube attachment hole and attach the sensor tube to the electrical box or other electronic enclosure.

  3. Open the Top (if not already open) and push the terminal block into the opening in the Top.

  4. Route the flex between the Circuit Board and the Output Board into the open area between the Top and the Bottom.

  5. NOTE:  Do not bend the flex tighter than ~1/10” radius to prevent cracking copper traces on the flex.

  6. Snap the Circuit Board section of the flex into the guides in the Bottom with the Serial  # facing up.

  7. Close the Top and snap securely.

  8. Attach the completed case to the electrical box or other electronic enclosure.
