3) Mounting the Control Panels:
Mounting Requirements:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Select a location that is easily accessible at grade level.
Mounting holes are provided for easy installation.
The Mux Control Panel must be mounted no more than 12” below the Verax Control
Panel.
When using a Z-purge 12” separation is required to make room for the purge panel on
the Mux Control Panel (see Section 7 for details)
Shade is required if mounting outdoors where ambient temps can exceed 90⁰ F.
Do not mount the analyzer in such a way to make it difficult to operate the customerprovided electrical disconnect device (switch, breaker or other)
Antenna Connection:
1.
2.
16dB Antenna is provided along with a 90 degree fitting.
Attach Antenna to the fitting on the upper left of the Analyzer Panel using the 90
degree fitting (see Figure 3 for location of the fitting).
Routing Fiber Optic Cable Between Probe Set and Mux Control Panel:
Warning – Read Carefully
•
•
•
•
Fiber optic cable is extremely sensitive to sharp bend angles and contamination.
Handle very carefully to avoid kinks and keep the ends capped until ready to attach
to the probes:
Maintain a minimum 7” bend radius when running/routing the fiber from control
box to probe assembly
It is recommended that the fiber optic cable be run in its own dedicated conduit. Do
not place fiber in open cable trays where it can be stepped upon.
Keep the fiber ends capped until you a are ready to connect

Pass-through for Electrical Wires:
• The Verax Control Panel is shipped without holes or wire ways for most of the
incoming electrical service or fiber connections. The only pre-positioned holes are:
• The Antenna fitting (top left of the Verax Control Panel),
• The wire pass-throughs between the Verax and Mux Control Panels (bottom
left for the top panel, top left for the mux panel).
• Additional wire pass-throughs will need to be installed by the customer. The
placement of these holes is left up to the customer’s installation teams in order to
provide maximum flexibility to bring the cables and fiber from below or above, and
attach them to the Verax Control Panels with a sufficient size conduit or fitting.
• All connections or fittings chosen by the customer should by rated for Type 4
enclosure.
• After the wires and fibers are run, all ports and pass-throughs must be plugged with
duct putty or some other standard industry practice to assure the sealed integrity of
the enclosure.
• The customer must plan for the following cables when choosing the size and
placement of ports on the Verax Control Panel:
• One Incoming Electrical Cable to the Top Verax Panel
• One Incoming communications Cable to the Top Verax Panel
• One RTD cable from each probe set to the Top Verax Panel
• One Transducer cable from each probe set to the Top Verax Panel
• Two Optical Fibers (send and receive) from each probe set to the Bottom Mux
Panel.
• Read instructions in Section 6 regarding where these fibers/cables attach inside the
control panels before you start cutting holes.
• The customer is responsible to protect the inside of the control panel when cutting
or punching holes for the wire way. DO NOT ALLOW METAL SHAVINGS TO FALL ON
THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OR COMPONENTS INSIDE THE CONTROL PANEL.
• Contact your local JP3 sales representative to discuss options

4) Wire the Verax Control Panel to the Mux Control Panel:
Connect 4 wires from Verax to Mux Control Panels:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The Verax 75M is shipped with 4 cables coiled in the Verax Control Panel that need to
pass through the flex conduit to the lower Mux control Panel. These are labeled:
•
Mux Power Cord (2-wire cable)
•
Spect Power Cord (2-wire cable)
•
Mux Comm Cable (3-wire cable)
•
USB Cable
Install the provided ½” and ¾” flex conduit between the liquid tight fittings on Mux and
Verax Panels.
Pass the wires through the flex conduit as shown in Figure 4.
Connect the cables to the Mux Wire Terminal Block as shown in Figure 4.

5) Mounting the Probe Assembly:
Placement:
•
•
The Probe Assembly are typically mounted to a unistrut frame, or other solid structure
Probes should be accessible at grade level.
Pressure and Temp Rating:
•
•
All probe windows and probe assemblies are tested to 1500 psi
Operational temperature range: -29C to 50C (-20⁰ F to 122⁰F).
Bypass Probe Configuration:
•
•
•
•
•
•
For a bypass probe assembly, the customer taps into the process stream they want to
monitor, plumbs the fluid to the inlet on probe assembly, and back to the process
stream. (see Figure 4 on the next page)
It is highly recommended that the customer supply a stinger at the inlet and return of
the pipe you are monitoring in order to pull fluid from the center of the pipe.
Either ½” or ¼” Swagelok fittings are supplied on the inlet and return ports of the probe
assembly. Customer supplies ¼” or ½” stainless steel tubing as dictated by the fittings
supplied on the probe assembly.
•
½” is typical for liquids
•
¼” is typical for gas
The customer must assure sufficient flow of liquid or gas over the probe windows by
providing a pressure drop of at least 1 PSI from inlet to outlet. Choosing the correct
inlet and return points on the process pipe is critical to assure flow. Often choosing
inlet and return points such that flanges, valves, meters or similar instruments are
located between these points is sufficient to provide the necessary bypass pressure
differential.
Actual Installation details vary by location and application; consult with JP3 Sales
representative to discuss options.
When using a heater blanket with the probe assembly, 120VAC, 2 Amp service is
required. The junction box must be within 4 feet of the probe assembly.

•
Fiber optic cable is extremely sensitive to sharp bend angles and contamination. Handle
very carefully to avoid kinks and keep the ends capped until ready to attach to the
probes:
Maintain a minimum 7” bend radius when running/routing the fiber from control box to
probe assembly
It is recommended that the fiber optic cable be run in it’s own dedicated conduit. Do
not place fiber in open cable trays where it can be stepped upon.

Open the conduit housing on the probe assembly
Install the fiber using LT50 fittings and flex conduit at either end of the probe assembly
(see Figure 6). The flex conduit approach offers the best protection for the fiber.
Connect the fiber to the back of the probe inside the conduit housing by screwing the
fiber end onto the threaded probe connection. (see Figure 7)
DO NOT THROW AWAY THE KNURLED CAPS. These should be left in the conduit
housing to be used to protect fiber and probe connections when disconnected during
servicing.

Pass the fibers into the Mux Control Panel through customer-provided pass-through.
Send Fibers are connected to the to the right face of the Multiplexer, receive fibers are
connected to the left side of the Multiplexer
Each analysis or measurement point is assigned a number 1-10. The connections are
numbered on the Multiplexer face. Send fibers from number 1 should be paired with
the receive fiber from number 1, number 2 to number 2, and so on.
