Model D and DT Sensors Instruction Manual
Mounting continued
Conduit openings If possible, install wiring with the conduit openings pointed downward to
reduce the risk of condensation or excessive moisture in the housing.
Otherwise, install drip legs on the cable or conduit.
Optional Model D600 mounting
When installing a Model D600 in a high-vibration area, additional
support may be added if desired. Use the D600 snub-mount connector
with vibration isolator to help support the sensor. See illustration, below.
Typically, the snub-mount connector is used when the D600 is installed
in the flag-mount orientation (in a vertical pipeline), as shown below.

DT sensors
Model DT sensors come with a 3-foot (1-meter) pigtail of cable
pre-installed. A junction box can be connected at the end of this pigtail.
The junction box is used for connecting the cable from the transmitter.
Snub-mount connector
• Connect support only to the factory-supplied
rubber snub-mount connector
• Attach with 1/2"-13 UNC bolt
• Bolt may penetrate isolator to 1 1/2" (40 mm)
D600 in flag-mount orientation can use
snub connector for added support in
high-vibration installations
