Installation
Enclosure Mounting
The enclosure is rated IP 66 (NEMA 4X) and can be mounted indoors or out. A sunshade is recommended
for outdoor installation. Openings used for the sensor and power must be properly prepared and sealed to
maintain the rating. There are two stainless steel mounting brackets factory assembled to the enclosure. The

mounting feet have slots for ¼" bolts (4 places).
The electronics should be mounted with the display
at eye level or lower. There are three ½" holes in
the bottom of the enclosure for conduit fittings.
These holes have rubber plugs installed at the
fac
tory. If you do not use all three holes for
conduit, leave the rubber plugs in the holes to
protect the enclosure ratings.
Opening the Enclosure:
There are two hinged door clasps on the front cover
of the enclosure. To open, put thumb on one of the
hinge
s, pull toward the outside of the enclosure.
Once the hinge pops to the outside it will lower
allowing the clasp at the bottom of the hinge to
release. Swing the cover towards the front to open.
The opposite side will act as a hinge to swing the
door freel
y. To close, clasp the bottom side of the
hinge and push the top of the hinge toward the
enclosure until it locks.
Hinge Lock and Optional Door Lock
There are two plastic gray plugs supplied with the Vantage 4000. These plugs may be used to
permanently d
isable one side of the hinged handles. If an optional door lock was supplied with the
unit then one side of the hinge handle should be plugged and the other side will have the key lock
used. Either side hinge handle may be disabled. Insert the gray plug into the keyhole.
Warning:
This will permanently disable the hinge handle.
The other side can be used for the key provided
for the optional lock.

Wiring Diagram
There are three terminal strips provided for all wiring of the Vantage 4000. The AC power terminal
is separate from the other two terminal strips. The power terminal strip has three connecti
ons for
High, Low and Ground for AC voltage only. Refer to the wiring diagram below for all internal
wiring connections. The specifications for the load requirements for each input are on Page 1-
2
General Specifications. The unit may also be powered with 12-24 VDC at TBA Terminals 18 (-

Sensor Cable Preparation
Sensor cable connections. Before pulling the sensor cables through the conduit, mark the ends of the cables to
indicate which is the upstream and downstream sensor cable. Leave approximately 8 inches of cable
extending from the conduit in the enclosure. Prepare the cable ends in the following manner.
1. Remove outer cable cover. Measure 1-5/8" from the end of the cable. With a cutting tool,
carefully cut through the outer covering completely around the cable making sure not to cut into the
outer shield. Make another cut from the first cut to the end of the cable and remove the outer cover.
2. Remove outer shield. Measure 1-1/4" from the end of the cable with a pair of small cutters, cut
the shield around the cable at the measured point and remove the cut off shield.
3. Remove middle cover. Measure 1" from the end of the cable. With a cutting tool, carefully cut
through the middle covering completely around the cable making sure not to cut into the middle
shield. Make another cut from the first cut to the end of the cable and remove the middle cover.
4. Remove middle shield. Measure 5/8" from the end of the cable. With a pair of small cutters, cut
the shield around the cable at the measured point and remove the cut off shield.
5. Remove inner cover. Measure 3/8" from the end of the cable. With a cutting tool or pair of wire
strippers, carefully cut the inner covering completely around the cable, making sure not to cut into the
center conductor and remove the inner cover.
After the ends of the cables have been prepared, loosen the screws on the sensor inputs at the lower
left corner of the PCB and remove the two pairs of clamps. Take the upstream cable and insert the
center conductor into the top terminal of the upstream sensor and tighten the screw. Slightly pull on
the cable to ensure the wire is secured to the terminal. Take the downstream cable and insert the
center conductor into the top terminal of the downstream sensor and tighten the screw. Slightly pull
on the cable to ensure the wire is secured to the terminal.
Place the two pair of clamps over the middle and outer shields and secure them into place. Verify
that the clamps are making good contact with the shields and that no wires of the shie lds are
extending beyond their own clamp down area.

Materials Required
* 4 pigtail cap crimps (wire size 18-12)
* 2 center conductor cap crimps (wire size 22-14)
* Strips of splice wrap
Crimp tool (customer supplied)
Knife (customer supplied)
Pointed tool (customer supplied)
Junction box (customer supplied)
A cable connection kit may be purchased through Eastech Badger that will include the * items above
(Part # 541874).
Trim each of the four cables at the junction box to 9 inches in length. Each of the four cables can now be
prepared as described in the sequence following:
Using a knife, trim two inches of the outer jacket from each cable. The wire braid beneath the outer
jacket must not be cut. See "A".
Using a pointed tool, carefully comb out the outer braid of each cable as shown in "B". Form the combed
braid into a pigtail dressed to the side of the cable as
shown in "C".
Trim 1 inch of the inner jacket from each of the cables
as shown in "D". Again, use care not to cut the inner
braid beneath the inner jacket.
Using a pointed tool, carefully comb out the inner
braid "E" and form into a pigtail dressed to the same side
of the cable as outer pigtail in "F".
Remove 1/2 inch of insulation from the inner conductor of each cable. Cut the outer pigtail to the same
length as the inner pigtail on each cable. "G" depicts the completed preparation.
Cable Termination
Pull cables approximately 18 inches outside of junction box. Select one sensor cable and one cable from
the electronic enclosure and place them side by side as shown in Fig. 1. Twist each cable's outer pigtails
together, then the inner pigtails together and finally the center
conductors together to form the cable splice. In similar fashion,
connect the remaining sensor cable and the cable from the
electronic enclosure.
Identification of upstream and downstream sensor cables must
now be made. Connect a short wire from the center conductor
splice to the inner shield pigtail splice on the upstream sensor
cable. Using a multimeter determine the upstream sensor cable at
the electronic enclosure end by continuity measurement. Identify the upstream cable for later termination.
Remove the shorting wire and using the cap crimps supplied, crimp the larger caps on each spliced
pigtail and the small cap on the center conductor splice as shown in Fig. 2. Repeat this procedure for the
second cable.
At this point turn power on at the electronics and verify that an OK signal condition appears on the
display.
Turn power "OFF".
Using Splice Strips
1. Remove cover off of strips
2. Totally wrap strips tightly around all of the splice connections.
The finished splices should be coiled inside the junction box. When properly placed, the splices should
be clear of the junction box cover area. Proper sealing of the junction box is necessary for watertight
integrity.
This completes the triax cable splice connection.
