INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The meter is to be used in a loca on where the product can be dropped from a
fi
xed
height such as a conveyer, or any type of feed system, which will give a reasonably
constant ini al ver cal velocity. The design of the meter requires the product to contact
the Tangen al Plate and have some ver cal drop.
The meter should be installed so that it is level in two planes. Use the Bubble Level on top
of the Seal Top to help.
The meter should be mounted using the mount holes only. The moun ng method should
minimize vibra on and any movement. Moun ng should not be done using the
fl
ange(s).
The discharge chute that the product stream emp es into a er traveling through the
meter must be free
fl
owing, meaning that it does not allow product to build up and
consequently contact the Pan of the meter.
The Electronics Enclosure and valve should be wired using only the factory cable. There is
a standard 10’ cable package that includes the Remote Electronics Cable, the valve Power
Cable, and the Valve Posi on Sensor Cable supplied with the CentriFeeder™ Meter. The
cables should be cut to the exact length required. Do not coil the cables.
It is required that the Remote Electronics Cable be run through its own grounded metallic
conduit connected on the side of the module and the bo om of the Electronics Enclosure.
This Cable MUST be in a separate conduit than that of the AC Power or 24 Vdc Power sup
‐
plied to the Electronics Enclosure. The valve power and posi on sensor signal cable can be
together in their own grounded metallic conduit.
INSTALLATION TROUBLE AREAS
The CentriFeeder™ Meter’s 4
‐
20mA signal is self
‐
powered and does not require any
addi onal voltage.
DO NOT RUN 480V, 240V, OR 120V AND SIGNAL LINES IN THE SAME CONDUIT. The power
and signal lines should be separate from each other and from all other devices. Running
any other power or signal lines in the same conduit could a
ff
ect the performance of your
meter. Isolate both power and signal lines from each other at all mes.
The CentriFeeder™ Meter is balanced at a speci
fi
c angle and should not be subject to
vibra on or movement. The mass of the mount should be at least 2 mes the mass of the
meter .
The Seal Top should be on the meter at all mes that you are not working inside the meter.
This is to keep all foreign materials out of the meter that could obstruct its movement or
impair its func onality.
