Installing/mounting
4
This chapter gives detailed instructions on mounting the transmitter and sensor to take best
advantage of the flexible arrangements built into the product, and to aid in planning the physical
locations of the flowmeter parts.
With compact versions the transmitter can be rotated on the sensor pedestal up to 330°.
For remote versions, as well as 330° rotation on the support post, 360° rotation in the
perpendicular plane is provided. The display can be rotated up to 360° in 30° steps. The remote
mounted transmitter can therefore be oriented in practically any direction. It is advisable to
mount the remote transmitter in a location convenient for using the display, with a firm backing
from a wall, beam or post.
If the process piping is subjected to high vibration, remote installation is recommended to shield
the electronics from shaking.
Flow direction should always be the same as that shown by the arrow on the pedestal if
possible.

Basic safety notes
WARNING
Wetted parts unsuitable for the process media
Risk of injury or damage to device.
Hot, toxic and corrosive media could be released if the wetted parts are unsuitable for the
process medium.
● Ensure that the material of the device parts wetted by the process medium is suitable for
the medium. Refer to the information in Technical data (Page 195).
Note
Material compatibility
Siemens can provide you with support concerning selection of sensor components wetted by
process media. However, you are responsible for the selection of components. Siemens
accepts no liability for faults or failures resulting from incompatible materials.
