DISCONNECT THE SUPPL
All units with transmitters must be grounded to an external ground source using the
transmitter's external grounding screw. If no external ground source is available, it can be grounded to the
meter's flange or to the meter 's grounding ring.
Remote, Battery only
Y FROM ANY CABLES BEING TERMINATED ON THE TRANSMITTER.
Electrical installation and earthing (grounding) must be in accordance with relevant national
and local standards.
Note. Power supply connections/earthing arrangement s are identical for cathodically
protected remote transmitter systems. For cathodically protected integral transmitter systems,
follow cathodic installation practises.

3. Remove battery tray by pushing right-most clips
towards the left and lifting
4. Check to insure that all required cables are fitted correct-
ly and that either a connector, gland or blanking plug
seals all gland holes.
5. Carefully pour potting into termination area, until potting
just covers the terminal blocks.
To prevent possibility of short circuit, potting compound
should cover all terminal screw heads.
6. Re-insert battery tray. Gently press down on the battery
tray so that the potting level rises.
7. Leave to stand for 5 hours to allow potting to gel.
8. If present, refit batteries to original positions and refit lid.

Caution.
Insure that battery lead(s) are pulled clear of
termination area.
Caution.
Potting must not be allowed to come in contact
with this space.

Warning.
The lithium battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if
mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212°F or incinerate.
Replace battery with an AMCO part only . Use of another battery may present a risk of
fire or explosion.
Dispose of used battery promptly. Keep away from children.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with your local regulations.
Where possible, recycle used batteries.
Contact your local environmental authority for further information regarding disposal
or recycling schemes for used batteries.

Note. Each battery must be connected to the cable from the same side of the
termination area as the battery position.
4.1 Connecting Batteries
The AquaMaster may have been supplied with one or two batteries, and may not have been connected. To connect see
Fig. 4.1
4.2 Start-up
If the AquaMaster is received with a protective plastic film over the display window, remove this film before commencing
normal operation.
When the power is connected or the plastic film is removed, the AquaMaster performs a self test operation, and indicates a
successful completion with “Pass” displayed.
If the display shows “Err1”, remove all power, check the sensor wiring and apply power.
If the display shows “Err 2 or 3”, contact ABB Service.
