Environmental considerations
Avoid excessive vibration, heat, and magnetic interference to ensure maximum flowmeter
life and proper operation. Typical problem areas include:
High-vibration lines
with integrally mounted electronics. Ensure the meter and
surrounding piping is properly supported.
Warm-climate installations in direct sunlight, and outdoor installations in cold climates.
Steam lines with improper insulation or flowmeter orientation.
Follow the proper
insulation and orientation procedures described in this manual.
High intensity electromagnetic and electrostatic fields.
Although the
signal-conditioning functions reduce susceptibility to extraneous noise, some
environments are more harsh than others. Avoid placing the flowmeter or its wiring
close to devices that produce magnetic fields. Such devices include electric welding
equipment, large electric motors and transformers, and communication
transmitters.

Meter body installation tasks
The installation tasks include detailed mechanical and electrical installation procedures. For
a general guide to meter installation, refer to
3.4.1
Handling
Handle all parts carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible, transport the system to
the installation site in the original shipping containers. Keep the shipping plugs in the
conduit connections until you are ready to connect and seal them.
Note
Do not lift the flowmeter by the transmitter. Lift the meter by the meter body. Lifting
supports can be tied around the meter body as shown in
.
