Installing the Field-Mount Transmitter
3.2.5
Accessibility for maintenance
Ensure that the transmitter is mounted in a location and orientation that will allow easy access to the
terminals and to the display (if your transmitter has a display).
3.3
Mounting the transmitter
You can mount the transmitter in any orientation as long as the conduit and wiring openings do not
point upward. For transmitter dimensions, see Figure A-1 or Figure A-2
Condensation or excessive moisture entering the transmitter could damage
the transmitter and result
in measurement error or flowmeter failure.
To reduce the risk of measurement error or flowmeter failure:
•
Ensure the integrity of gaskets and O-rings.
•
Grease the O-rings every time the transmitter housing is opened and closed.
•
Do not mount the transmitter with the conduit openings pointing upward.
•
Install drip legs on conduit or cable.
•
Seal the conduit openings.
•
Fully tighten the transmitter cover.
See Figure 3-2 for a diagram of the mounting bracket supplied with the transmitter. Both pipe
mounting and wall mounting are shown. Ensure that the transmitter is mounted and oriented in a way
that will allow easy access to the terminals and to the display (if your transmitter has a display).
