Page 11: Chapter 1. Installation
To ensure safe and reliable operation of the XGF868i Ultrasonic Flow Transmitter, the system must be installed in accordance with the guidelines established by Panametrics engineers. Those guidelines, which are explained in detail in this chapter, include the following specific topics: •... -
Page 12: Site Considerations
Because the relative location of the flowcell and the electronics enclosure is important, use the guidelines in this section to plan the XGF868i installation. WARNING! Before beginning installation, please refer to “Installing Panametrics Measurement & Control Ultrasonic Flow Transmitters in a Potentially Hazardous Area” near the back of this manual. -
Page 13: Cable Lengths
Locate the electronics enclosure as close as possible to the flowcell and transducers, preferably directly on the flowcell. However, Panametrics can supply transducer cables up to 1000 ft (300 m) in length for remote location of the electronics enclosure. If longer cables are required, contact Panametrics for assistance. -
Page 14: Installing Temperature And Pressure Transmitters
Chapter 1. Installation Installing Temperature and Pressure Transmitters Optional temperature and pressure transmitters may be installed near the ultrasonic transducer ports as part of the flowcell. Be sure to observe the siting requirements given earlier in this chapter. These transmitters should send a 0/4-20 mA signal to the XGF868i. -
Page 15: Mounting The Xgf868I Electronics Enclosure
Refer to Figure 7 on page 21 for a complete wiring diagram. WARNING! Refer to “Installing Panametrics Measurement & Control Ultrasonic Flow Transmitters in a Potentially Hazardous Area” on page 1 near the rear of this manual for additional installation instructions. - Page 16 Chapter 1. Installation Making the Electrical Connections (cont.) WARNING! Always disconnect the line power from the XGF868i before removing either the front cover or the rear cover. This is especially important in a hazardous environment. Refer to Figure 2 below and prepare the XGF868i for wiring by completing the following steps: Disconnect any existing power line from its source.

Chapter 1. Installation 1.7.1 Wiring the Line Power (cont.) Strip 1/4 in. of insulation from the end of each of the three power line leads. Route the cable through the conduit hole and connect the line power leads to terminal block TB5, using the pin number assignments shown in Figure 7 on page 21. - Page 19 Chapter 1. Installation 1.7.2.1 Local or Remote Electronics Enclosure with Local Preamplifiers WARNING! Before connecting the transducers, take them to a safe area and discharge any static buildup by shorting the center conductor of the transducer cables to the metal shield on the cable connector. IMPORTANT: The cable lengths for a given pair of transducers, including the preamplifier-to-electronics enclosure cables, must be equal to within ±4 in.
- Page 20 Refer to Figure 9 on page 23 and use the pair of coaxial cables with BNC to BNC connectors supplied by Panametrics (or equivalent cables) to connect both CH1 transducers to the dual preamplifier, using the connections on the transformer.

- Page 27 Chapter 1. Installation 1.7.5.4 Wiring an RTD Inputs Option Card The XGF868i RTD (Resistance Temperature Device) inputs option card provides two or four direct RTD inputs (designated as A, B, C and D). Each RTD input requires three wires, and should be connected as shown on the label in the rear cover (see Figure 2 on page 6 and Figure 8 on page 22).
- Page 28 Chapter 1. Installation 1.7.5.8 Wiring the Ethernet Interface A modified XGF868i can use the Ethernet interface to communicate to a local area network. An optional Ethernet card with a unique MAC (IP) address (installed only in slot 2) includes an RJ45 connector. To connect the Ethernet-enabled XGF868i to the network, insert the jack of an RJ45 cable into the RJ45 connector, route the cable through one of the conduit holes using an appropriate cable clamp, and wire the other end of the cable to the Ethernet network according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
