1.3 Installation checklist

□ Safety messages are provided throughout this content to protect personnel and

equipment. Read each safety message carefully before proceeding to the next step.

□ If possible, install the meter in a location that will prevent direct exposure to sunlight.

The environmental limits for the meter may be further restricted by hazardous area
approvals.

□ If you plan to mount the meter in a hazardous area:

— Verify that the meter has the appropriate hazardous area approval. Each meter has

a hazardous area approval tag attached to the meter housing.

— 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. Be sure to
reference this documentation in addition to the information shown in this guide.

□ Verify that the local ambient and process temperatures are within the limits of the

meter.

1.3.1

□ Follow the wiring instructions in the Model 5700 installation manual for signal and

power wiring.

□ Mount the meter in a location and orientation that allows sufficient clearance to open

the housing cover. Allow 8 in (203 mm) to 10 in (254 mm) clearance at the wiring
access points.

□ Install the meter so that the flow direction arrow on the sensor case matches the actual

forward flow of the process. Flow direction is also software-selectable.

Orientation options

You can mount the meter in any orientation as long as the conduit openings or display do
not point upward. Keep the sensor tubes full of process fluid to achieve best performance.

CAUTION

Installing the meter with the conduit openings or display facing upward risks moisture
entering the housing, which could damage the meter.
