Chapter 1. Installation

1.4.5 Remote Mounting

The standard XMT1000 enclosure is a powder-coated, aluminum, IP67 explosion-proof enclosure. Typically, the
enclosure is mounted as close as possible to the transducers. When choosing a site for a remote-mount installation,
which is recommended for process temperatures exceeding 150°C, make sure the location permits easy access to the
enclosure for programming, maintenance and service.
Attention European Customers! For compliance with the European Union's Low Voltage Directive,
this unit requires an external power disconnect device such as a switch or circuit breaker. The
disconnect device must be marked as such, clearly visible, directly accessible, and located within
1.8 m (6 ft) of the unit.

1.4.6 Cable Lengths

Locate the XMT1000 as close as possible to the transducers. The maximum distance from the transducers for remote
mounting of the XMT1000 is 1000 ft (300 m) using RG-62 coaxial cable or equivalent. If longer distances are required,
consult the factory for assistance.

1.4.7 Transducer Cables

When installing the transducer cables, always observe established standard practices for the installation of electrical
cables. Do not route transducer cables alongside high amperage AC power lines or any other cables that could cause
electrical interference. Also, protect the transducer cables and connections from the weather and corrosive
atmospheres, and be sure to follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines if cable glands are provided.
