1. If you plan to run the coaxial cable in conduit, carefully cut the
conduit to the desired length to provide for proper assembly
at the housing. A junction box may be placed in the conduit run to
provide a space for extra coaxial cable length.
2. Slide the conduit adapter or cable gland over the loose end of the
coaxial cable and fasten it to the adapter on the meter body
support tube.
3. If using conduit, route the coaxial cable through the conduit.
4. Place a conduit adapter or cable gland over the end of the
coaxial cable.
5. Remove the housing adapter from the electronics housing.
6. Slide the housing adapter over the coaxial cable.
7. Remove one of the four housing base screws.
8. Attach the coaxial cable ground wire to the housing via the
housing base ground screw.
9. Attach and securely tighten the coaxial cable nut to the connection
on the electronics housing.
10. Align the housing adapter with the housing and attach
with three screws.
11. Tighten the conduit adapter or cable gland to the
housing adapter.
CAUTION
To prevent moisture from entering the coaxial cable connections, install
the interconnecting coaxial cable in a single dedicated conduit run or
use sealed cable glands at both ends of the cable.
Calibration
Model 8800C Flowmeters are wet-calibrated at the factory and need no
further calibration during installation. The calibration factor (K-factor)
is stamped on each meter body and is entered into the electronics.
Verification can be accomplished with a HART Communicator or AMS.
