Installation options
The F-Series sensor makes up one part of a Coriolis flowmeter. The other part is a transmitter. F-Series
sensors are available with the following electronics interfaces:
• An integral core processor for connecting to a 4-wire remotely mounted transmitter or to a
user-supplied remote host (Figure 1).
• An integral Model 1700 or 2700 transmitter (Figure 2).
• A 9-wire junction box for connecting to a remotely mounted transmitter or a remotely mounted core
processor (Figure 3).
• An integrally mounted IFT9701 transmitter (Figure 4).
• High-temperature and extreme high-temperature models are equipped with a flexible conduit, on
which can be mounted a Model 1700/2700 transmitter, a core processor, or a junction box (Figure 5).
