1.0 CONVERTER DESCRIPTION
Read this entire manual prior to installation and/or changing any settings. Retain this manual in your records, DO NOT
DISCARD.
The signal converter is the reporting, input and output control device for the sensor. The converter allows the measurements,
functional programming, control of the sensor and data recording to be communicated through the display and inputs
& outputs. The microprocessor-based signal converter has a multi-point curve-tting algorithm to improve accuracy,
dual 4-20mA analog outputs, an RS485 communication port, an 8-line graphical backlit LCD display with six-key touch
programming, and a rugged enclosure that meets IP67. In addition to a menu-driven self-diagnostic test mode, the
microprocessor continually monitors the converter's functionality. The converter will output rate of ow and total volume.
The converter also comes standard with password protection and many more features.
2.0 INSTALLING THE CONVERTER AND CABLES
2.1 Verify Serial Numbers
The converter and sensor are supplied as a matched system. Verify the meter serial numbers on both the converter and
sensor match. This will ensure a properly calibrated system.
The tag on the side of the converter has the converter model Number, the converter serial number, the converter model
number and the sensor model number. An example is shown below as Figure 1.
Figure 1. Converter Serial Number Tag
IMPORTANT: Verify the meter serial numbers on both the converter and sensor match. This will ensure
a properly calibrated system. The meter serial number is located on the side of the sensor, and the
converter serial number and the meter serial number are located on a label on the side of the converter.
Ensure the meter serial number on the sensor and the converter tags match.

2.2 Mounting the Converter
Note: This applies to the remote mount converter only.
If possible, mount the converter in an electronics shed or environmental enclosure. The sun shield should be oriented in a
direction to reduce sun damage and ensure readability.
Mount the converter to a solid surface using four bolts (Figure 2) or to a vertical or horizontal post using two clamps (Figure
3 and Figure 4). This electronic unit is rated IP67 for temporary ooding.

INSTALLING THE CONVERTER AND CABLES
ProComm

2.3 Installing Cables through Cable Glands and Conduit
All electrical cables enter the converter through compression ttings or optional customer-supplied conduit located on the
side or bottom of the converter (Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7) . Ensure that all compression glands are properly tightened and
all unused ttings are plugged so the case remains sealed.
The power cable and wiring harnesses are each assigned specic cable glands where they will pass through into the
converter. See section 2.4 for cable gland assignment for wiring harnesses and section 3.2 for wiring diagrams.
All cable compression glands must be properly tightened to prevent moisture intrusion and maintain the IP67 rating. To
insure IP67 rating, use only round cable 0.24" to 0.47" in diameter.
Figure 5. Remote mount
converter with ve cable
gland pass-throughs
Figure 6. Remote mount converter
with three conduit pass-throughs
The remote mount converter is shipped with ve 1/2" NPT cable glands.
Up to three cable glands may be removed and replaced with 1/2" conduits.
Figure 7. Meter mount
converter with three cable
gland pass-throughs
IMPORTANT: Do not cut or alter the cable
length on power or signal cables!
Connections to the sensor must be made with
cable supplied by McCrometer specically for
that purpose. Do not substitute the supplied cable with
other types of cable, even for short runs. For repairs or
added lengths of cable, the entire cable between the sensor
and the converter must be replaced. (Consult factory for
replacement cable.)
i
!Attaching conduit directly to the enclosure may
introduce dangerous gasses and moisture into
the enclosure creating a dangerous condition,
and will remove the enclosure's IP67 rating.
Damage caused by attaching conduit to the enclosure or
altering the enclosure in any way is not covered by the
warranty.

2.5 Pulling Sensor Cable Through Electrical Conduit
It is very important to protect the end of the sensor cable when pulling it through a conduit. Water can accumulate in low
portions of conduit. Always use the factory supplied cable cover, or similar method, to seal the end of the cable against
water when pulling the cable through conduit (see Figure 10). This will ensure proper operation of the meter.
1. Tie a rope or cable-snake securely around the middle of the cable cover.
2. Carefully pull the rope or snake until the sensor cable end clears the conduit.
3. Bring the cable end to the converter location. If necessary, secure the cable so that it does not fall back through the
conduit.
4. Remove the cable cover by pulling the rip wire. The cable cover will tear o (discard the cover).
CAUTION: Do not cut the cable cover o. Doing so may damage the sensor cable and adversely eect
the calibration of the meter.

3.3 4-20mA Hook-Up
Isolated 4-20mA current loops are used to output ow data to external devices. Maximum load impedance is 1,000Ω, and
the maximum voltage without load is 27VDC. The converter has the capability to detect a loss of load on this output. To
disable this function set the value“mA Val. Fault”under the ALARMS menu to zero (see section 5.4). A graphical example of
the usage of the current loop with external device is shown below:
If the external device requires a voltage input, a precision resistor placed across the input terminals of the external device
will change the current to voltage. Calculate the required resistor using Ohm’s law (V = I x R). For example, a 250Ω resistor
will provide an input voltage of one to ve volts with the transmitter range being set from 4mA to 20mA. An additional 4
to 20mA loop output is available.
Figure 12. 4-20mA Hook-Up
IMPORTANT
The converter powers the 4-20mA loops. Do not use external power for the 4-20mA loop as it may cause
permanent damage to the converter.

3.7 Converter Power Wiring Diagram
The power supply line must be equipped with external surge protection for current overload (fuse or circuit breaker with
limiting capacity not greater than 10A). It must be easily accessible for the operator and clearly identied.
Power connection is made using the power terminal block on the upper right side of the terminal board.
NOTE: The terminal block unplugs from the circuit board for easy connection. Connect earth ground to the protective
grounding terminal before making other connections. The power supply of a standard converter is 100-240VAC, 45-66Hz
at maximum 20W. DC converter is available as an option.

3.6 Optional Smart Output Hook Up
The convertor comes pre-wired with an interconnection
that should readily connect to most AMI transceivers. Where
interconnective devices are not mechanically compatible or
where non-standard wiring is encountered, the installer can
opt to remove the connector from the end of the converter’s
interface cable and make direct connection via the wiring table
shown at right.
• Signals and associated wire colors in the McCrometer
SmartOutput™ interface cable are identied together in
the top row of the table at right.
• Corresponding wire colors for transceivers from each
compatible AMI vendor are identied in the columns
under the top row.
