  • Page 6: Power Requirements

    Planning • Do not expose the meter to excessive vibration (greater than 0.5 g continuously). Vibration levels in excess of 0.5 g can affect the meter accuracy. • For optimal performance of the meter, ensure that operating conditions correspond to the meter calibration-type code and boundary. •...

  • Page 9 Planning Figure 1-3: Region of measurement boundary or sensitivity (plan view) Long axis Short axis Sensitive, or effective, region The factory calibration compensates for the boundary effect. The meter can be calibrated for 2-inch, 2.5-inch, or 3-inch pipe. If the meter is installed in a pipe that does not match the calibration size, the compensation will be inaccurate, and process measurement will be inaccurate.
  • Page 10 Planning 1.4.3 Entrained gas Entrained gas, or gas pockets, can disrupt the measurement of a fluid. A brief disruption in the signal caused by transient gas pockets can be corrected in the meter configuration, but you must avoid more frequent disruptions or serious gas entrainment to ensure accurate and reliable fluid measurement.

  • Page 13: Perform A Pre-Installation Meter Check

    Visually inspect the meter for any physical damage. If you notice any physical damage to the meter, immediately contact Micro Motion Customer Support at flow.support@emerson.com. Connect the power wiring, and power up the meter. Remove the back transmitter housing cover to access the PWR terminals.
