INSTALLATION
Installation consists of attaching the transmitter to the process piping and making
electrical connections.
The Model PX2088 weighs approximately 2.0 pounds (0.9 kg). In many cases, its
compact size and light weight makes it possible to mount the Model PX2088 directly to
the impulse line without using an additional mounting bracket. When this is not
desirable, mount directly to a wall, panel, or two-inch pipe using the optional
mounting bracket (see Figure 4-3).

Impulse Piping
Impulse piping configurations depend on specific measurement conditions. Use the
following information and Figure 4-2 as a guideline when installing impulse piping.
Liquids
: Make the line tap on the side of the pipe to prevent sediment deposits
from plugging the impulse line or transmitter. Mount the transmitter level with or
below the tap so gases vent into the process line.
Gases
: Make the line tap on either the top or the side of the process line. Mount the
transmitter level with or above the line tap so liquids drain into the process line.
Steam
: Make the line tap in the side of the process line. Mount the transmitter
below the line tap to ensure that the impulse line remains filled with condensate.
Do not apply torque directly to the electronics housing. Rotation between the electronics
housing and the process connection can damage the electronics. To avoid damage, apply
torque only to the hex-shaped process connection.
