Probe Installation Guide
Safety
When working in a hazardous area, it is important to block off this area to
keep out vehicles and unauthorized persons from entering. Observe all codes
and regulations from your local area. Also, review the instructions and safety
requirements listed in the Installation Manual.
Failure to comply can create an explosion hazard that can result in death, personal injury,
and/or property damage.
When making electrical splices use the SK-4 connector seal kit in accordance
with the instructions. This provides a water tight seal. You must use the
proper cable and conduit configuration (see Electrical Wiring from Installation
Manual).
Failure to comply can result in water intrusion to wiring which may cause the system to
fail.
Don’t VOID Your Warranty!
Warranty will be void if OMNTEC EC-2 (Belden #8761 or #87761 for direct burial) cable is not used with
MTG-series probes.
Probe wires must only enter the controller through the intrinsically-safe preformed knockouts.
