Safety Messages
The Horizon system is designed for use in Category II,
Pollution Degree 2 installations. Follow all standard
industry procedures for servicing electrical and computer
equipment when working with or around high voltage.
Always shut off the power supply before touching any
components. Although high voltage is not present in this
system, it may be present in other systems.
Electrical components are sensitive to electrostatic dis-
charge. To prevent equipment damage, observe safety
procedures when working with electrostatic sensitive
components.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
WARNING!
Explosion hazard. Do not connect or dis-
connect transmitters rated Explosion-proof or Non-
incendive unless power has been switched off and/or the
area is known to be non-hazardous
Low Voltage Directive
For use in Installations Category II, Pollution Degree 2.
If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, protection provided by equipment may be

QuickStart Installation
The QuickStart Installation procedures provide the key steps for
mounting, wiring, and configuring the Horizon level transmit-
ter. These procedures are intended for experienced installers of
electronic level measurement instruments. Refer to
Complete
Installation, Section 2.0
for detailed installation instructions.
WARNING!
Guided Wave Radar probes should be installed so the max-
imum overfill level is a minimum of 6" (150 mm) below the
process connection. This may include utilizing a nozzle or
spool piece to raise the probe. Consult factory to ensure
proper installation.

QuickStart Mounting
{
z
y
NOTE: Confirm the configuration style and process connection
size/type of the Horizon transmitter. Ensure it matches the
requirements of the installation before continuing with the
QuickStart installation.
1.2.1 Probe
x
Carefully place the probe into the vessel. Align the probe
process connection with the threaded or flanged mounting
on the vessel.
y
Tighten the hex nut of the probe process connection or
flange bolts.
x
NOTE: If the transmitter is to be installed at a later time, do not remove
the protective cap from the probe. Do not use sealing com-
pound or TFE tape on probe connection to transmitter. This
connection is sealed using a Viton
®
O-ring.
1.2.2 Transmitter
z
Remove the protective plastic caps from the top of the
probe and at the bottom of the transmitter and store for
future use. Make sure the high frequency connector (female)
is clean and dry. Clean with isopropyl alcohol and cotton
swabs if necessary.
{
Place the transmitter on the probe. Hand-tighten the
connection securely.
QuickStart Wiring
1.3
WARNING!
Explosion hazard. Do not connect or disconnect equip-
ment unless power has been switched off or the area is
known to be non-hazardous.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical wiring to the Horizon transmitter is
complete and in compliance with all regulations and codes.
NOTE: Do not apply more than 10 ft. lbs. to conduit entries on the
Valox housing.
Model 704
1. Remove the cover of the transmitter.
2. Gripping the display module by the flats, remove the mod-
ule from the assembly as shown on the next page.
3. Attach a conduit fitting and mount the conduit plug in the
spare opening. Pull the power supply wires through the con-
duit fitting.
4. Connect shield to an earth ground at power supply and at
the transmitter.
5. Connect an earth ground to the green ground screw.
