    Installation Introduction To ensure safe and reliable operation of the Model XMT868i Flowmeter, the system must be installed in accordance with the guidelines established by Panametrics engineers. Those guidelines, explained in detail in this chapter, include the following topics: •...

  • Page 10: Site Considerations

    Chapter 1. Installation Site Considerations Because the relative location of the flowcell and the electronics enclosure is important, use the guidelines in this section to plan the XMT868i installation. Figure 1 shows a typical installation. Figure 1: A Typical Model XMT868i System 1.3.1 Electronics Enclosure Location The standard Model XMT868i electronics enclosure is a powder-coated, cast-aluminum, Type-7/4X explosion-proof...

  • Page 11: Transducer Location

    Locate the electronics enclosure as close as possible to the flowcell/transducers, preferably directly on the flowcell. However, Panametrics can supply transducer cables up to 1,000 ft (300 m) in length for remote location of the electronics enclosure. If longer cables are required, consult the factory for assistance.

  • Page 12: Installing Temperature Transmitters

    Chapter 1. Installation Installing Temperature Transmitters Optional temperature transmitters may be installed as part of the flowcell, near the ultrasonic transducer ports. Be sure to observe the siting requirements given earlier in this chapter. These transmitters should send a 0/4-20 mA signal to the Model XMT868i.

    Chapter 1. Installation Making Electrical Connections (cont.) Power Connections Option Card Connections Set Screw Slots Label Inside View Outside View Figure 3: Rear Cover with Connection Labels 1.7.1 Wiring the Line Power The Model XMT868i may be ordered for operation with power inputs of 100-120 VAC, 220-240 VAC, or 12-28 VDC. The label on the side of the electronics enclosure lists the meter’s required line voltage and power rating.
  • Page 15 Chapter 1. Installation 1.7.1 Wiring the Line Power (cont.) Prepare the line power leads by trimming the line and neutral AC power leads (or the positive and negative DC power leads) to a length 0.5 in. (1 cm) shorter than the ground lead. This ensures that the ground lead is the last to detach if the power cable is forcibly disconnected from the meter.

  • Page 16: Wiring Transducers

    Chapter 1. Installation 1.7.2 Wiring Transducers Before wiring the XMT868i transducers, complete the following steps: • Disconnect the main power from the electronics enclosure. • Remove the rear cover and install all required cable clamps. 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.

  • Page 17: Wiring Standard 0/4-20 Ma Analog Outputs

    Chapter 1. Installation 1.7.3 Wiring Standard 0/4-20 mA Analog Outputs The standard configuration of the Model XMT868i flow transmitter includes two isolated 0/4-20 mA analog outputs (designated as outputs 1 and 2). Connections to these outputs may be made with standard twisted-pair wiring, but the current loop impedance for these circuits must not exceed 600 ohms.
  • Page 18 Signal names that imply direction (e.g., transmit and receive) are named from the point of view of the DTE device (the Panametrics meter is usually considered the DTE device). When the RS232 standard is strictly followed, these signals are labeled with the same name and pin # on the DCE device side as well.
  • Page 19 Chapter 1. Installation 1.7.4.2 Wiring the RS485 Interface Use the optional RS485 serial port to network multiple XMT868i flow transmitters to a single computer terminal. As an option, the standard RS232 port on the XMT868i may be configured as a two-wire, half-duplex RS485 interface. IMPORTANT: The XMT868i must be configured at the factory for RS485 operation.

Installation 1.7.5.5 Wiring an RTD Inputs Option Card The Model XMT868i RTD (Resistance Temperature Device) inputs option card provides two direct RTD inputs (designated as A and B). Each RTD input requires three wires, and should be connected as shown on the label in the rear cover (see Figure 3 on page 6 and Figure 11 on page 24).
  • Page 25 Slot 2. The RS485 standard allows up to 32 nodes (drivers and receivers) on one multidrop network, at distances up to 4,000 ft (1,200 m). Panametrics recommends using 24-gauge (24 AWG) twisted-pair wire with a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms and 120-ohm termination at each end of the communications line.
