Installing the Transmitter DC power requirements Note: These requirements assume a single transmitter per cable. Connecting multiple transmitters to a single cable should be avoided. If you are using DC power, the following requirements apply: • 18–100 VDC • 6 watts typical, 11 watts maximum •...
Installing the Transmitter 2.3.4 Maximum cable lengths This requirement does not apply to integral installations (see Figure 2-1). For other installation types (see Figure 2-1), maximum cable length between flowmeter components depends on the installation type and the cable type. Refer to Figure 2-1, then see Table 2-2. Table 2-2 Maximum cable lengths Cable type...
Installing the Transmitter 2.4.1 Integral installations If you chose an integral installation (see Figure 2-1), there are no special mounting instructions for the transmitter. You can rotate an integrally mounted transmitter up to 360° in 90° increments, to one of four possible positions on the core processor base.
Installing the Transmitter Twisting the core processor will damage the sensor. To reduce the risk of damaging the sensor, do not allow the core processor to rotate. 2.4.2 4-wire remote or remote core processor with remote transmitter installations If you chose the 4-wire remote or the remote core processor with remote transmitter installation (see Figure 2-1), see Figure 2-3 for a diagram of the mounting bracket supplied with the transmitter.

Installing the Transmitter Grounding the flowmeter components Grounding requirements depend on the installation type (see Figure 2-1 each flowmeter component are listed in Table 2-3. Improper grounding could cause measurement error. To reduce the risk of measurement error: • Ground the transmitter to earth, or follow ground network requirements for the facility.
Installing the Transmitter Supplying power In all installations, power must be provided to the transmitter. Refer to Section 2.3.3 for information on the transmitter’s power supply requirements. A user-supplied switch may be installed in the power supply line. For compliance with low-voltage directive 2006/95/EC (European installations), a switch in close proximity to the transmitter is required.
