  • 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.
  • Page 17: Wiring The Line Power

    Line Voltage Fuse Rating 85-250 VAC Not field-replaceable (contact Panametrics) 12-28 VDC 2.0 A, Slow-Blow IMPORTANT: For compliance with the EU Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC), 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.
