MC-II Flow Analyzer

Installation
General
The MC-II Flow Analyzer is most commonly mounted directly on top of its companion flowmeter. However,
if the flowmeter is in a line that has vibration or if the meter’s location makes a direct mount difficult, the MC-
II can be mounted on vertical or horizontal 2-in. pipe (additional hardware is required).
With either installation method, the mounting location should be free of vibration, and the MC-II should be
oriented so that the liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are not exposed to direct sunlight.
Direct Mounting
In preparation for the installation of the MC-II, install the companion flowmeter in the flow line and install
the magnetic pickup according to the flowmeter instruction manual. Grease the pickup threads that mate with
the flowmeter body and the pickup threads that mate with the MC-II signal cable connector to facilitate easy
removal in the future.
If the remote mounting option was ordered with the MC-II, see “Remote Mounting” for installation instruc-
tions.
The MC-II is fully assembled at the time of shipment. To install the MC-II, perform the following steps:
1 Plug the MC-II cable connector into the pickup and turn the swivel nut clockwise until the connector is
fully inserted into the pickup and the swivel nut is hand-tight.
2. Loosen the locking screws that secure the base MC-II mount (Figure 1, page 2).
3. Position the MC-II on the flowmeter, carefully pulling excess signal cable through the strain relief cord
connector on the side of the upper mount (see Figure 2, page 3).
4. Thread the base of the mount onto the conduit adapter of the turbine meter and tighten two extra rounds
after it is hand-tight. It is important that the upper mount and MC-II readout be kept from turning while
the base is being tightened in order to prevent the signal cable from being damaged by twisting.
5. Tighten the outside nut of the strain relief cord connector on the upper mount with a 15-mm open-end
wrench to prevent cord slippage.
6. Adjust the MC-II readout for best viewing position and tighten the locking screws in the upper mount.
The viewing angle may be adjusted by loosening the nut on the bolt which holds the MC-II readout on the
upper mount, tilting the unit to the desired angle and retightening the nut.
Remote Mounting
In most applications, the MC-II Flow Analyzer is installed directly on top of the flowmeter. However, if the
flowmeter is in a line that has vibration or if the meter’s location makes a direct mount difficult, a remote
mount may be preferred. Remote mounting hardware allows the MC-II to be mounted on a 2-in. pipe.
The remote mounting option kit consists of a mounting bracket, “U” bolts, nuts and lock washers, weather-
proof adapter, and 10-ft signal cable assembly. Additional signal cable length is available if required.
