3 Mounting and sensor wiring

3.1 Mounting and sensor wiring for integral-mount
transmitters
There are no separate mounting requirements for integral transmitters, and no need to connect wiring
between the transmitter and the sensor.

3.2 Mounting transmitters

There are two options available for mounting transmitters:
• Mount the transmitter to a wall or flat surface.
• Mount the transmitter to an instrument pole.
3.2.1 Mounting the transmitter to a wall or flat surface
Prerequisites
• Micro Motion recommends 5/16-18 (8 mm–1.25) fasteners that can withstand the process environment.
Micro Motion does not supply bolts or nuts as part of the standard offering (general purpose bolts and
nuts are available as an option).
• Ensure that the surface is flat and rigid, does not vibrate, or move excessively.
• Confirm that you have the necessary tools, and the mounting kit shipped with the transmitter.
Procedure
1. Attach the mounting bracket to the transmitter and tighten the screws to 80 in lbf (9.04 N m) to 90 in
lbf (10.17 N m).
