Determining the installation location of the Interface Unit
4.3.1
Installation location requirements
▸
Fit the Interface Unit in an easily accessible and protected position.
▸
Providing suitable cables are used, the Interface Unit can be installed up to 1000 meters
from the sender/receiver units. The installation of a flameproof version of the interface unit
directly on site is therefore unnecessary in many situations. For easier access to the
Interface Unit, we recommend installation in a control room (measuring station or similar).
This considerably simplifies communication with the FLOWSIC100 Flare-XT for
configuration or location of failure or error causes.
4.3.2
Clearance for fitting the Interface Unit
NOTICE:
The Interface Unit is only suitable for vertical installation.
