Planning Planning Topics covered in this chapter: • Installation checklist • Best practices • Temperature limits Installation checklist □ Make sure that the hazardous area specified on the approval tag is suitable for the environment in which the meter will be installed. □...
Planning □ The sensor has a pressure relief feature to evacuate the case in the unlikely event of a loss of primary containment: The pressure relief feature is located underneath the calibration tag. Orient the sensor so that personnel and equipment will not be exposed to escaping pressurized discharge along the pressure relief path.
Planning Temperature limits Sensors can be used in the process and ambient temperature ranges shown in the temperature limit graphs. For the purposes of selecting electronics options, temperature limit graphs should be used only as a general guide. If your process conditions are close to the gray area, consult with your Micro Motion representative.
Mounting Mounting Mount the sensor Use your common practices to minimize torque and bending load on process connections. To reduce the risk of condensation problems, do not orient transmitters or sensor junction boxes with their conduit openings pointing upward. CAUTION! Do not lift the sensor by the electronics.
