Site Preparation Checklist
Before installing the 2920 FTT transmitter on a mechanical float and tape gauge, ensure that:
1. The mechanical float gauge is operating correctly.
2. There is sufficient space around the mechanical gauge to install the transmitter and acces-
sories (such as conduit and cabling). Refer to the following figure.
3. The correct transmitter/mechanical gauge adaptor is available, if required.
4. The gaugehead shall be adequately grounded for the safe electrical drain of electrostatic
charges that may accumulate in the tank and the product (see “Grounding the Equip-
ment”).
5. The correct field connections at the gaugehead are ready to connect to the 2920 FTT (i.e.,
power, communications, and temperature sensor wiring).
6. The installation complies with all safety guidelines as described in “General Safety Guide-
lines”.
The tank can remain in-service and the mechanical float gauge can remain in place while
installing and configuring the 2920 FTT.
