CAUTION!
Although the integral cable has a built-in strain relief, do not use excessive force when pulling
the cable. Do not exert more than 5-lb of force directly on the sensor connection during
installation. If possible, secure the cable to the machine near the point of sensor installation.
CAUTION!
Do not exert more than 5-lb pull force directly on sensor/cable connection during wire pulls.
For sensors that have been mounted before pulling the cable through the conduit or
raceway to the CSI 9420, leave the cable bundled and secured to the machine. Permanent
signal degradation takes place when cables are damaged. Do not step on, kink, twist, or
pinch cables. Also take note of the placement of the cable bundle. Do not place bundles in
a manner that may cause strain at the sensor/cable connection.
WARNING!
If the sensor is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault condition or installation
error occurs, the sensor leads and transmitter terminals could carry lethal voltages. Use
extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
For high-voltage environments, attach the sensor leads first before connecting to a power
source.
Tip
Use crimp-on ferrules or lugs to improve long-term reliability of sensor wiring.
3.2.3 Sensor mounting/attachment tools and supplies
Mounting tools
• Drill
• Spot face or end mill tool
The spot face tool attaches to a standard electric drill and provides a machined surface that
is at least 1.1 times greater than the diameter of the sensor. The spot face tool also drills a
pilot hole that can then be tapped for a stud mounted sensor.
You can purchase the spot face tool from Emerson (MHM P/N 88101), or you can
substitute a spot face tool with similar characteristics as required. Contact your local sales
representative for assistance.
