Mounting and connection guidelines
Process connection
Make sure that the device is suitable for the respective process. Pay particular attention to
the media compatibility, temperature resistance and measuring range.
Any gaskets which are required must be suitable for the process connection and resistant to
the measured media.
Select the position of the process connection such that the antenna of the connected
wireless HART device points vertically upwards. This guarantees optimum transmitter and
receiver performance of the field device.
6.3
Mounting positions
The adjustability of the display and antenna allow flexible integration of the device in your
process. Select mounting positions where the antenna points vertically upwards. This
guarantees optimum linking to the wireless HART network.
The service life of the battery is increased if its positive pole also points vertically upwards.
Impermissible are mounting positions and locations where the limits defined for the device
are violated. For corresponding data, refer to Technical data (Page 85) .
