CAUTION—All field wiring must conform to the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, Article 501-4(b) for installations within the United States or the Canadian Electric Code for installations within Canada. Local wiring ordinances may also apply. All field wiring must have a wire range of 22 to 14 AWG and terminal block screws must be tightened to a minimum torque of 5 to 7 in-lb to secure the wiring within the ter-minal block. Only personnel who are experienced with field wiring should perform these procedures.

Step 2: Connect the Computer to the MC-III
Note—An RS-485 converter is required to connect a computer to the MC-III flow analyzer. The instructions below are for an RS-485-to USB converter (Part No. 2296650-01). An RS-485-to-RS-232 9-pin converter (Part No. 9A-101283116) is also available.
1. RemoveoropenthecoveroftheMC-IIIenclosuretoaccessthecircuitboard.
2. VerifythatthebatteryisconnectedtotheJ1connector(page5).Ifusinganexternalpowersupply,verifythatitiswiredproperly(page5).
3. ConnecttheRS-485toUSBconvertercabletotheRS-485terminalsonTB2oftheMC-IIIcircuitboardasshown.
