Ensure that the transmitter is mounted in a location and orientation that will allow easy access to the
terminals and to the display (if your transmitter has a display).

You can mount the transmitter in any orientation as long as the conduit and wiring openings do not
point upward. For transmitter dimensions, see Figure A-1 or Figure A-2

CAUTION
Condensation or excessive moisture entering the transmitter could damage
the transmitter and result
in measurement error or flowmeter failure.
To reduce the risk of measurement error or flowmeter failure:
• Ensure the integrity of gaskets and O-rings.
• Grease the O-rings every time the transmitter housing is opened and closed.
• Do not mount the transmitter with the conduit openings pointing upward.
• Install drip legs on conduit or cable.
• Seal the conduit openings.
