Introduction
This startup guide is to assist in the startup of the XFC6200EX flow
computer. It is hoped that this guide in conjunction with other drawings
and documentation that accompanies your order will result in a smooth
installation. If for some reason, you have questions that are not
answered in this guide or your other documentation, call your local
Totalflow representative or call the number listed on the back page of
this guide.
Installation & Start-Up Sequence
HINT: Step 1 thru 25 is a recommended start-up sequence and some of
the steps do not go into any great detail. Some steps because detail is
not required and some because more information is available later in the
Start-Up Guide. For example there are later topics such as installing the
RTD, batteries, solar panel etc. So, scan through the guide to see what
information is available before you begin the installation.
1. Unpack the XFC6200EX and 6270 OEU (Optional Equipment Unit) if
purchased.
components.
2. Determine where to mount the 6200EX and OEU. Install the 6200EX
first and the OEU will be covered later. The 6200EX is rated for
Division 1, but the OEU must be installed in a Division 2 or General
Purpose area.
3. Install the support for the 6200EX (pipe saddle, direct mount,
standalone pipe, etc.). If mounting pipe to meter run, use a saddle
mount kit as shown in Fig. 1. Different size Saddle Mount kits are
available based on the meter run size. If mounting the 6200EX to a
pipe, use the 2-piece bracket Mtg. kit (Pt. # 210193) as shown in Fig.
2. Attach the side mount bracket to the 2" pipe with the two U-bolts
and then attach the 6200EX Mtg. bracket with available hardware.
The 6200EX can be on either side of the pipe depending on how the
side mount bracket is mounted (See Fig. 1). Use silicone spray or
Teflon tape to prevent galling of threads.
4. The method of mounting the 6200EX using the bracket mounting kit
depends on whether a discrete or block manifold is used. For
discrete manifolds, mount the 6200EX directly to the bracket as
shown in Figure 1 and then screw the tubing from the discrete
manifold into the bottom of the 6200EX's transducer. If a block
manifold is used, sandwich the manifold between the 6200EX's
transducer and the top of the bracket as shown in Figure 3. Block
manifolds as shown in Figure 3 can be mounted with four bolts
inserted up through the bottom of the bracket, through the manifold
and into the threaded holes of the 6200EX transducer. Larger block
manifolds with flanges on top and bottom will require separate
hardware to mount the manifold to the 6200EX's transducer and then
