For mounting, see Figures 4-4 and 5-5. The
401-10-220 pulse recognition module is
mounted directly onto the 406-6200 Series
transmitter on the power/signal connection side.
The 401-210 Verify Switch module can be
mounted on a standard 35mm DIN rail or

Wiring the Electronic Unit
Note: The electronic unit has a grounding link
between the ground and common terminals.
The link is reqired for hazardous area
operation and should not be removed before
consulting the factory.
All signal and power connections are made to
the terminal strip on the 406-6200 Series
chassis. These connections are (+), (-), comm,
and ground. See Figure 4-6. If signal wires
cannot be referenced to circuit ground, please
consult factory.
The sensing element cable connections are
made to the back of the instrument chassis.
These connections are labled ground (GND),
shield (SH), and center wire (CW). See Figure
4-7.
Wiring to PLC or DCS w/ Non-isolated Inputs
The negative side of loop is grounded to the
chassis (housing) at the electronic unit. If
connecting this product to an instrument that is
grounded OTHER THAN at the negative input
terminal,

Equipment Return
In order to provide the best service, any equipment being
returned for repair or credit must be pre-approved by the
factory.
In many applications, sensing elements are exposed to hazardous materials.
• OSHA mandates that our employees be informed and
protected from hazardous chemicals.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) listing the
hazardous materials to which the sensing element has
been exposed MUST accompany any repair.
• It is your responsibility to fully disclose all chemicals and
decontaminate the sensing element.
To obtain a return authorization (RA#) , contact the Service
department at 1-800-527-6297 (US and Canada) or
+ 215-674-1234 (International).
Please provide the following information:

APPENDIX A
Shortening or Lengthening Sensing Element
CAUTION:
The insulation length of
either Flush Sensing
Elements or Insulated
Sensing Elements can
NOT be changed.
Cable sensing elements
can only be shortened and
instructions are included
with each unit.
Insulators
The Need
Sometimes your application calls for probe lengths other
than the standard 18-inch or longer insertion lengths
supplied. Shortening the sensing element is quite simple
and can be done in the field. Lengthening the sensing
element, however, is more difficult because the metal rod,
typically 304SS or 316SS, must be welded.
Before making any Adjustments:
1) Read the following instructions thoroughly.
2) Remove Power
3) Disconnect the electronics.
4) Protect electronics from any static discharge.
5) Protect electronics from any heat.
Shortening
The bare metal center rod of the sensing element can be
shortened with a hacksaw. Be careful not to cut either of
the two insulators. See Figure on this page.
Note:
Cote-Shield

Insertion Length
(18" or 36" std.)
metal center rod length of two (2) inches.
Center Rod
Note: Any changes to probe
length after calibration requires
recalibration to insure proper
operation!
For dry granular materials, such as powder, sand, corn,
clinker, etc., you must leave a minimum bare metal center
rod length of eight (8) inches. Consult the factory before
shortening beyond this point.
Lengthening
To lengthen the sensing element, an extension rod can be
welded onto the end of the bare metal center rod. Make
sure that the extension rod is the same metal as the
sensing element.
An alternate option is to add a pipe coupling and a section
of metal pipe after threading the tip of the sensing element. In this case, the metal pipe need not be identical to
the metal of the sensing element.
