QmBS Sensor / QTA Transmitters
3-1
3.1 Overview
This section describes how to install Brooks QTA field-mount transmitters. The following general
steps are required:
•
Determine the location of the transmitter and other flowsensor components (see Section 3.2)
•
Mount the transmitter (see Section 3.3)
•
Ground the transmitter (see Section 3.4)
•
Supply power to the flowsensor (see Section 3.5)
•
Rotate the display, if desired and if the transmitter has a display (see Section 3.6)
3.2 Determining an Appropriate Location
To determine an appropriate location for the transmitter, you must consider the environmental
requirements of the transmitter, hazardous area classification, location of power source, cable
lengths, accessibility for maintenance, and visibility of the display (if transmitter is equipped with
display).
The field-mount installation architecture is shown in Figure 3-1.
