1.1Flowmeter components
The transmitter is one component of a Micro Motion flowmeter. The other major
component is the sensor.
Planning
1.1.1
A third component, called the core processor, provides additional memory and processing
functions.
Installation types
Model 1700 and Model 2700 transmitters can be installed five different ways, only one of
which applies to your specific installation.
•Integral – The transmitter is mounted directly on the sensor. You do not need to
install the transmitter separately, but you will need to connect power supply and I/O
wiring.
Installation Manual 1

Planning
Integral installationFigure 1-1:
•High-temperature flexible conduit – Some high-temperature meters come
preinstalled with a flexible conduit between the sensor and the transmitter. You do
not have to connect any wires between the transmitter and the sensor, but you do
need to mount the electronics separately and connect power and I/O wiring to the
transmitter.
High-temperature flexible conduit installations use the same installation
instructions as 4-wire remote installations, except that the distance between the
sensor and the electronics is limited by the length of the flexible conduit.
•4-wire remote – The transmitter is installed remotely from the sensor. You need to
mount the transmitter separately from the sensor, connect a 4-wire cable between
the transmitter and sensor, and connect power and I/O wiring to the transmitter.
•9-wire remote – The transmitter and core processor are combined in a single unit
that is installed remotely from the sensor. You need to mount the transmitter/core
processor assembly separately from the sensor, connect a 9-wire cable between the
transmitter/core processor, and connect power and I/O wiring to the transmitter.

– A remote core process with remote
sensor installation separates all three components – transmitter, core processor,
and sensor – all of which are installed separately. A 4-wire cable connects the
transmitter to the core processor, and a 9-wire cable connects the core processor to
the sensor.

The transmitter's model number is on a tag on the side of the transmitter. You can use the
model number to determine the transmitter's output option. The first four characters are
the transmitter type. The fifth character is the installation type. The eighth character is the
output option. The remaining characters are not relevant to transmitter installation.

If possible, install the transmitter in a location that will prevent direct exposure to sunlight.
The environmental limits for the transmitter may be further restricted by hazardous area
approvals.
Hazardous area classifications
If you plan to mount the transmitter in a hazardous area:
•Verify that the transmitter has the appropriate hazardous area approval. Each
transmitter has a hazardous area approval tag attached to the transmitter housing.
•Ensure that any cable used between the transmitter and the sensor meets the
hazardous area requirements.
Power requirements

Note
For DC power:
•Power requirements assume a single transmitter per cable.
•At startup, the power source must provide a minimum of 1.5 amps of short-term current per

which could damage the transmitter.
1.7Accessibility for maintenance
Mount the flowmeter in a location and orientation that satisfies the following conditions:
•Allows sufficient clearance to open the transmitter housing cover. Micro Motion
recommends 8–10 inches (200–250 mm) clearance at the rear of the transmitter.
•Provides clear access for installing cabling to the transmitter.

1.Loosen each of the four cap screws (4 mm) that fasten the transmitter to the base.
2.Rotate the transmitter counter-clockwise so that the cap screws are in the unlocked
position.
3.Gently lift the transmitter straight up, disengaging it from the cap screws.
Important
Do not disconnect or damage the wires that connect the transmitter to the core processor.
4.Rotate the transmitter to the desired orientation.
Important
Do not pinch or stress the wires.
The slots on the transition ring should be aligned with the cap screws.
5.Gently lower the transmitter onto the base, inserting the cap screws into the slots.
6.Rotate the transmitter clockwise so that the cap screws are in the locked position.
7.Tighten the cap screws, torquing to 20 to 30 in-lbs (2.3 to 3.4 N-m).
2.3Rotate the user interface on the transmitter
(optional)
The user interface on the transmitter electronics module can be rotated 90º or 180° from
the original position.

•Keep all ground leads as short as possible, less than 1 Ω impedance.
•Connect ground leads directly to earth, or follow plant standards.
Ground via the piping, if possible (see sensor documentation). If grounding via the piping
is not possible, ground according to applicable local standards using the transmitter’s
internal or external ground screw.

Prepare the 4-wire cable
Important
For user-supplied cable glands, the gland must be capable of terminating the drain wires.
Note
If you are installing unshielded cable in continuous metallic conduit with 360º termination shielding,
you only need to prepare the cable – you do not need to perform the shielding procedure.

3.2.14-wire cable types and usage
Micro Motion offers two types of 4-wire cable: shielded and armored. Both types contain
shield drain wires.
The 4-wire cable supplied by Micro Motion consists of one pair of red and black 18 AWG
(0.75 mm2) wires for the VDC connection, and one pair of white and green 22 AWG
(0.35 mm2) wires for the RS-485 connection.
User-supplied 4-wire cable must meet the following requirements:
Installation Manual 21
Mounting and sensor wiring for 4-wire remote installations
•Twisted pair construction.
•Applicable hazardous area requirements, if the core processor is installed in a
hazardous area.
•Wire gauge appropriate for the cable length between the core processor and the
transmitter.
Wire gaugeTable 3-1:
Wire gaugeMaximum cable length
VDC 22 AWG (0.35 mm2)300 ft (90 m)
VDC 20 AWG (0.5 mm2)500 ft (150 m)
VDC 18 AWG (0.8 mm2)1000 ft (300 m)
RS-485 22 AWG (0.35 mm2) or larger1000 ft (300 m)
3.3Wire the transmitter to the sensor
1.Connect the cable to the core processor as described in the sensor documentation.
2.Feed the wires from the sensor through the conduit opening.
3.Connect wires to the appropriate terminals on the mating connector.
Important
Never ground the shield, braid, or drain wire(s) at the transmitter.
Tip
You may find it easier to unplug the mating connector to connect the wires. If you do so,
remember to firmly reseat the mating connector and tighten the mating connector screws so
that the mating connector cannot accidentally come loose.

2.Remove the end-cap clamp by removing the cap screw.
3.Turn the display cover counterclockwise to remove it from the main enclosure.
4.Carefully loosen (and remove if necessary) the semicaptive display screws while
holding the display module in place.

terminals are disengaged from the display module.
Note
If the display pins come out of the board stack with the display module, remove the pins and
reinstall them.
6.Rotate the display module to the desired position.
7.Insert the sub-bezel pin terminals into the display module pin holes to secure the
display in its new position.
8.If you have removed the display screws, line them up with the matching holes on the
sub-bezel, then reinsert and tighten them.
9.Place the display cover onto the main enclosure.

10.Turn the display cover clockwise until it is snug.
11.Replace the end-cap clamp by reinserting and tightening the cap screw.
12.Restore power to the transmitter.
3.5Ground the flowmeter components
In 4-wire remote installations, the transmitter and sensor are grounded separately.
CAUTION!
Improper grounding could cause inaccurate measurements or flow meter failure. Failure to
comply with requirements for intrinsic safety in a hazardous area could result in an explosion.
Note
For hazardous area installations in Europe, refer to standard EN 60079-14 or national standards.
If national standards are not in effect, adhere to the following guidelines for grounding:
