General guidelines The following conditions must be met: • Before operation, you must be able to stop flow through the sensor. (During the zeroing procedure, flow must be stopped completely, and the sensor must be full of process fluid.) • During operation, the sensor must remain full of process fluid.
The sensor will function properly in any orientation if the sensor tubes remain filled with process fluid. Micro Motion recommends orienting the CMF400 sensor as shown in Figure 5. Flow direction arrow The sensor has a flow direction arrow (see Figures 1-4) to help you configure the transmitter for flow direction.

STEP 5. Wiring the sensor to the transmitter WARNING Failure to comply with requirements for intrinsic safety in a hazardous area could result in an explosion. • For installation in an area that requires intrinsic safety, refer to Micro Motion UL, CSA, or ATEX documentation, shipped with the sensor or available from the Micro Motion web site.

Core processor to a 4-wire remote transmitter or remote host To connect wiring at the core processor: 1. Use one of the following methods to shield the wiring from the core processor to the remote transmitter: • If you are installing unshielded wiring in continuous metallic conduit that provides 360°...
