1.1About this document
This manual provides information on planning, mounting, wiring, and initial setup of the
5700 transmitter. For information on full configuration, maintenance, troubleshooting, or
service of the transmitter, see the configuration and use manual.
The information in this document assumes that users understand basic transmitter and
sensor installation, configuration, and maintenance concepts and procedures.
1.2Hazard messages
This document uses the following criteria for hazard messages based on ANSI standards
Z535.6-2011 (R2017).
DANGER
Serious injury or death will occur if a hazardous situation is not avoided.
WARNING
Serious injury or death could occur if a hazardous situation is not avoided.
CAUTION
Minor or moderate injury will or could occur if a hazardous situation is not avoided.
NOTICE
Data loss, property damage, hardware damage, or software damage can occur if a
situation is not avoided. There is no credible risk of physical injury.
Physical access
NOTICE
Unauthorized personnel can potentially cause significant damage and/or misconfiguration
of end users' equipment. Protect against all intentional or unintentional unauthorized use.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and fundamental to
protecting your system. Restrict physical access to protect users' assets. This is true for all
systems used within the facility.

2.1Installation checklist
□ 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.
□ If you plan to mount the transmitter in a hazardous area:
WARNING
— 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.
— For ATEX/IECEx installations, strictly adhere to the safety instructions
documented in the ATEX/IECEx approvals documentation available on the
product documentation DVD shipped with the product or at www.emerson.com.
□ Verify that you have the appropriate cable and required cable installation parts for your
installation. For wiring between the transmitter and sensor, verify the maximum cable
length does not exceed 1,000 ft (305 m).
□ Ensure that you use the following cables for the different connections:
— A shielded, twisted-pair instrument cable with drain for all I/O connections
— A twisted-pair shielded cable for the RS-485 (Channel E) connection
□ You can mount the transmitter in any orientation as long as the conduit openings or
transmitter display do not point upward.
Installing the transmitter with the conduit openings or transmitter display facing
upward risks condensation moisture entering the transmitter housing, which could
damage the transmitter.
Following are examples of possible orientations for the transmitter.
Preferred orientation
Alternate orientations
□ Mount the meter in a location and orientation that satisfies the following conditions:
— Allows sufficient clearance to open the transmitter housing cover. Install with 8 in
(203 mm) to 10 in (254 mm) clearance at the wiring access points.
Installation Manual7
PlanningInstallation Manual
September 2020MMI-20027478
— Provides clear access for installing cabling to the transmitter.
— Provides clear access to all wiring terminals for troubleshooting.
2.2Additional considerations for retrofitting
existing installations
□ The transmitter installation may require 3 in (76 mm) to 6 in (152 mm) of additional
wiring for the input/output and power connections. This length would be in addition to
the currently installed wiring. Confirm you have the additional wiring necessary for the
new installation.
□ Before removing the existing transmitter, be sure to record the configuration data for
the currently installed transmitter. At initial startup of the newly installed transmitter,
you will be prompted to configure the meter via a guided setup.

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 transmitter and not pull voltage below 18 VDC.
• Length and conductor diameter of the power cable must be sized to provide 18 VDC
minimum at the power terminals, at a load current of 0.7 amps.
Cable sizing formula
M = 18V + (R x L x 0.7A)
• M: minimum supply voltage
• R: cable resistance
• L: cable length (in Ω/ft)

3Mounting and sensor wiring
3.1Mounting and sensor wiring for integralmount transmitters
There are no separate mounting requirements for integral transmitters, and no need to
connect wiring between the transmitter and the sensor.
3.2Mounting transmitters
There are two options available for mounting transmitters:
• Mount the transmitter to a wall or flat surface.
• Mount the transmitter to an instrument pole.
3.2.1
Mounting the transmitter to a wall or flat surface
Prerequisites
• Micro Motion recommends 5/16-18 (8 mm–1.25) fasteners that can withstand the
process environment. Micro Motion does not supply bolts or nuts as part of the
standard offering (general purpose bolts and nuts are available as an option).
• Ensure that the surface is flat and rigid, does not vibrate, or move excessively.
• Confirm that you have the necessary tools, and the mounting kit shipped with the
transmitter.
Procedure
1. Attach the mounting bracket to the transmitter and tighten the screws to 80 in lbf
(9.04 N m) to 90 in lbf (10.17 N m).
