conduit to the desired length to provide for proper assembly at
the housing. A junction box may be placed in the conduit run to
provide a space for extra coaxial cable length.
2. Slide the conduit adapter or cable gland over the loose end of
the coaxial cable and fasten it to the adapter on the meter body
support tube.
3. If using conduit, route the coaxial cable through the conduit.
4. Place a conduit adapter or cable gland over the end of the
coaxial cable.
5. Remove the housing adapter from the electronics housing.
6. Slide the housing adapter over the coaxial cable.
7. Remove one of the four housing base screws.
8. Bend the round lug so it is perpendicular to the cable.
9. Attach and securely tighten the coaxial cable nut to the
connection on the electronics housing.
10. Attach the coaxial cable ground connection round lug to the
housing via the housing base ground screw. Use the 1
