1.1Flowmeter components

The transmitter is one component of a Micro Motion flowmeter. The other major component is the sensor.

A third component, called the core processor, provides additional memory and processing functions.

1.1.1Installation 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

Figure 1-1: Integral installation

Transmitter

Sensor

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.

Figure 1-2: High-temperature flexible conduit installation

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.

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:

3.3 Wire 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.

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:

Use copper wire, 14 AWG (2.5 mm2) or larger wire size.

Keep all ground leads as short as possible, less than 1 Ω impedance.

Connect ground leads directly to earth, or follow plant standards.

1.Ground the sensor according to the instructions in the sensor documentation.

2.Ground the transmitter according to applicable local standards, using the transmitter’s internal or external ground screw.
