INSTALLATION

Overview

Each of the installation steps that follow is explained in detail on

The actual installation

procedures differ slightly, depending on whether the transducers are

fixed

or

adjustable

If the transducers are

fixed

, you will:

1   Install the transducers
2   Install the transmitter
3   Wire the transmitter
4   Program the meter
If the transducers are

adjustable

, you will:

1   Install the transmitter
2   Wire the transmitter
3   Set up the meter (select the optimum transmission mode, enter the site information, and enter the fluid and

pipe properties)

4 Install the transducers
5 Complete the meter programming

Installation Considerations

Mount the transmitter in a location:
•  Where little vibration exists
•  That is protected from corrosive fluids
•  That is within the transmitters ambient temperature limits: With display, –4…140° F (–20…60° C);

without display: –40…158° F (–40…70° C)

• That is out of direct sunlight Direct sunlight may increase transmitter temperature to above the maximum limit

Equipment Required

•  Screwdrivers, wide blade and tiny blade (for securing wires to the terminal blocks)
•  User manual for the transducers
•  Four #8 or M4 screws, if mounting the transmitter on a wall
•  Stainless steel banding straps, if mounting the transmitter on a pipe

Installing the Transducers

See the user manual for your particular transducer for installation instructions
