Installation Manual
□
Verify that you have the appropriate cable and required cable installation
parts for your installation. For wiring between the transmitter and sensor,
verify the maximum cable length does not exceed 1000 ft (300 m).
□
Ensure that you use the following cable for the different connections:
- Twisted-pair instrument cable for all I/O connections
- Twisted-pair shielded cable for the RS-485 (Channel E) connection
□
You can mount the transmitter in any orientation as long as the conduit
openings or transmitter display do not point upward.
Installing the transmitter with the conduit openings or transmitter
display facing upward risks condensation moisture entering the
transmitter housing, which could damage the transmitter.
Following are examples of possible orientations for the transmitter.
Table 1-1:
Preferred orientation
□
Mount the meter in a location and orientation that satisfies the following
conditions:
- Allows sufficient clearance to open the transmitter housing cover.
Micro Motion recommends 8–10 inches (200–250 mm) clearance at
the wiring access points.
- Provides clear access for installing cabling to the transmitter.
1.3 Additional considerations for retrofit installations
□
The transmitter installation may require 3–6 inches (76–153 mm) of
additional wiring for the input/output and power connections. This
length would be in addition to the currently installed wiring. Confirm you
have the additional wiring necessary for the new installation.
□
Before removing the existing transmitter, be sure to record the
configuration data for the currently installed transmitter. At initial startup
of the newly installed transmitter, you will be prompted to configure the
meter via a guided setup.
Micro Motion recommends that you record the following information (if
applicable):
