  • Page 11: Determining A Location

    Determining a Location Step 1 Determining a Location Choose a location for the sensor based on the requirements described in this section. The following general guidelines can help you select an appropriate location for the sensor. • You should be able to stop flow through the sensor to facilitate the zeroing procedure. •...
  • Page 12 Determining a Location Environmental limits The maximum ambient temperature for the sensor depends on the electronics option: • For F-Series sensors with a junction box or an extended core processor, the maximum ambient temperature is 140 °F (60 °C). • For all Model F300A sensors, the maximum ambient temperature is 140 °F (60 °C). •...

    Orienting the Sensor Step 2 Orienting the Sensor The sensor will function properly in any orientation if the sensor tubes remain filled with process fluid. Micro Motion recommends orienting F-Series sensors as shown in Figure 9. Figure 9 Recommended sensor orientations Slurries and Gases Liquids...
  • Page 15: Mounting The Sensor

    Mounting the Sensor Step 3 Mounting the Sensor Use your common practices to minimize torque and bending load on process connections. Figure 10 illustrates how to mount the sensor. To reduce the risk of condensation or excessive moisture, the conduit opening should not point upward (if possible).

    Grounding Junction box to a 9-wire remote transmitter or remote core processor Follow the steps below to connect the 9-wire cable between the sensor and the transmitter or core processor. 1. Prepare and install the cable according to the instructions in Micro Motion’s 9-Wire Flowmeter Cable Preparation and Installation Guide.
  • Page 22: Purge Fittings

    Purge Fittings Purge Fittings If the sensor has purge fittings, they should remain sealed at all times. After a purge plug has been removed, the sensor case should be purged with argon or nitrogen and resealed. Purging the case protects internal components. The sensor is purged of all oxygen and sealed at the factory. If the purge plugs are never removed, it is not necessary to purge or re-seal the sensor.
  • Page 23 Purge Fittings 4. Connect the supply of nitrogen or argon gas to the inlet purge connection or open inlet purge line. Leave the outlet connection open. • Exercise caution to avoid introducing dirt, moisture, rust, or other contaminants into the sensor case.
  • Page 24: Return Policy

    Return Policy Return Policy Micro Motion procedures must be followed when returning equipment.
