Receiving/Inspection
●
Unpack carefully, observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions if handling the flow transmitter.
●
Inspect for damage to the flow element and the flow transmitter.
●
Verify that all items in the packing list were received and are correct.
●
Verify the Delta R data sheet and the instrument information sheet are included in the instrument's documentation package.
If the above items are satisfactory then proceed with installation. If not, then stop and contact the FCI customer service representative for instructions.

Factory Calibration Note
The flow meter is factory calibrated to the flow range specified in the order. There is no need to perform any verification or calibration steps
prior to installing and placing the flow meter in service.
Pre-Installation Procedure
Warning:
Caution:
Use Standard ESD Precautions
Use standard ESD precautions when opening an instrument enclosure or handling the flow transmitter. FCI recommends the use of the
following precautions: Use a wrist band or heel strap with a 1 megohm resistor connected to ground. If the instrument is in a shop setting
there should be static conductive mats on the work table and floor with a 1 megohm resistor connected to ground. Connect the instrument
to ground. Apply antistatic agents to hand tools to be used on the instrument. Keep high static producing items away from the instrument
such as non-ESD approved plastic, tape and packing foam.

Consult the manufacturer if dimensional information on the flameproof joints is necessary.
The ambient temperature range and applicable temperature class of the MT100 Series flow meter is based on the
maximum process temperature for the particular application as follows: T6 for -40°C < Ta < +46°C, T5 for -40°C < Ta
< +57°C, T4 for -40°C < Ta < +65°C.
The painted surface of the MT100 Series flow meter may store electrostatic charge and become a source of ignition
in applications with a low relative humidity < 30% relative humidity where the painted surface is relatively free of
surface contamination such as dirt, dust, or oil. Clean the painted surface with a damp cloth only.
Do not replace internal battery when an explosive gas atmosphere is present.
APPENDIX
E, page 147.
This instrument is to be installed by qualified personnel only. Install and follow safety procedures in
accordance with current national electrical codes, local amendments/supplements to the national
electrical code and all applicable company safety procedures for this application/process environment.
Make sure that power is OFF during installation. Any instances where power is to be applied to the flow
meter will be noted in this manual. Where the instructions call for the use of mains power, the operator
assumes all responsibility for conformance to safety standards and practices.
The flow transmitter contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Use standard ESD
precautions when handling the flow transmitter. See below for ESD details.
The flow meter is not designed for weld-in-place applications. Never weld to process connection
or a structural support.
Damage resulting from moisture penetration of the local or remote enclosure is not covered by
product warranty.
