For pipe mount instructions, go to section 3.3.2, Pipe mount installation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before beginning, review the procedure and the materials required for installation.
Direct mount installation
The following steps detail the procedures for direct-mounting the transmitter onto the meter run horizontally or vertically.
Horizontal flange transmitter direct-mount instructions
To direct-mount the assembly horizontally:
1. Determine where the transmitter is to be placed on the meter run so that the high side (+) is upstream (Figure 13).
