A complete system should consist of: · HI 7871 or HI 7873 level controller; · HI 7874 transmitter and sensor holder; · HI 7164 11-pin connector; · 3 or 4 measuring bars. The level transmitter is basically a molded electrode holder with 4 sockets to screw in the level sensors. The longest bar has to be the common electrode and connected to the COM port. The remaining electrodes can be connected in any sequence, after cutting them to the required lengths. HI 7874 contains the completely resinated amplifier circuit and the 2-wire terminal board. It also comes with a mounting bracket for quick and easy installation. HI 7874 uses stainless steel measuring bars and employs 9V peak to peak A. C. It can be used in liquids with conductivity greater than 10 µS/cm (µmho/cm). HI 7873 has an overflow alarm control as an additional feature. 76mm 3" 95mm MIN 3. 74" Adjustable brackets (supplied) allow the controller to slide into the cutout and hold the unit in place. 95 mm (3. 74") is the minimum space required to install the controller with the cables connected.

The common terminal (#4) and #3 can also be connected to a device to indicate a "full tank" state. · With HI 7873, connect terminals #10 and #11 to an alarm for monitoring Over Flow condition. CONNECTIONS · Remove the 11-pin connector from the rear of the level controller. · Remove the cover of HI 7874 (bar holder) and connect a 2-wire cable from #8 to positive (+) and #9 to negative (­) terminals of the holder. · Connect a 2-wire power cable to terminals #2 and #7 (no ground connection). · Screw the longest bar to the hole marked as COMM. Screw the other measuring bars into the remaining sockets in any order. [. . . ] It is recommended to keep the bars separate with a non-conductive material such as plastic to ensure they do not touch each other, specially in deep tanks.
