Installation Manual Before you begin MMI-20040393 May 2021 Before you begin About this document This document provides information on planning, mounting, wiring, and grounding the TA-Series sensor. The information in this document assumes that users understand basic transmitter and sensor installation, configuration, and maintenance concepts and procedures. Hazard messages This document uses the following criteria for hazard messages based on ANSI standards Z535.6-2011 (R2017).
MMI-20040393 Related documentation You can find all product documentation on the product documentation DVD shipped with the product or at www.emerson.com. See any of the following documents for more information: • The hazardous area approvals documentation shipped with the sensor or available at www.emerson.com/flowmeasurement.
For ATEX/IECEx installations, strictly adhere to the safety instructions documented in the ATEX/IECEx approvals documentation available on the Product Documentation DVD shipped with the product or at www.emerson.com. Be sure to reference this documentation in addition to the information shown in this guide.
Liquids Slurries Best practices • There are no pipe run requirements for Emerson meters. Straight runs of pipe upstream or downstream are unnecessary. • If the meter is installed in a vertical pipeline, liquids and slurries should flow upward through the meters. Gases should flow downward.
Installation Manual Planning MMI-20040393 May 2021 Temperature limits Temperature type Process temperature -40 °F (-40.0 °C) 356 °F (180.0 °C) Ambient temperature -40 °F (-40.0 °C) 176 °F (80.0 °C) Use the extended mount junction box (electronic interface code H) for process temperatures above 176 °F (80.0 °C).

Installation Manual Purge the sensor case MMI-20040393 May 2021 Purge the sensor case Prerequisites Make sure the following are available before beginning the purge procedure: ™ • Teflon tape • Argon or nitrogen gas sufficient to purge the sensor case Whenever a purge plug is removed from the sensor case, you must purge the case again.
Page 18
Avoid pressurizing the sensor case. If pressure inside the case elevates above atmospheric pressure during operation, the flowmeter density calibration will be inaccurate. 8. Make sure that the purge fitting seals are tight so that air cannot be drawn by suction into the sensor case. Micro Motion TA Series...
