To safely install a panel mount, follow these instructions:
1. Verify that the panel, cabinet, or rack used
to house the flow computer is a bonded
metal surface and is connected to an Earth
Ground.

OMNI 4000/7000 Installation Guide – Rev H
A maximum system configuration of the OMNI 4000/7000 dissipates
approximately 29 W, including transducer loop power, which causes an internal
temperature rise of 27 °F (15 °C) over the ambient temperature.
The flow computer should not be mounted in a cabinet or panel where the inside
ambient temperature will exceed 131 °F (55 °C).
