1.1 Installation checklist

□

Make sure that the hazardous area specified on the sensor approval tag is suitable
for the environment in which the sensor is installed.

□

Verify that the local ambient and process temperatures are within the limits of the
sensor. See Environmental limits.

□

If your sensor has an integral transmitter, no wiring is required between the sensor
and transmitter. Follow the wiring instructions in the transmitter installation manual
for signal and power wiring.

□

If your transmitter has remote-mounted electronics, follow the instructions in this
manual for wiring between the sensor and the transmitter, and then follow the
instructions in the transmitter installation manual for power and signal wiring.

□

For the wiring between the sensor and the transmitter, consider maximum cable
lengths (see Table 1-1 and Table 1-2). The maximum distance between the sensor
and transmitter depends on the cable type. For all types of wiring, Micro Motion
recommends using Micro Motion cable.

Planning

Maximum lengths for Micro Motion cableTable 1-1:

Cable type To transmitter Maximum length

Micro Motion 9-wire 9739 MVD transmitter 1000 ft (300 m)

All other MVD transmitters 60 ft (20 m)

Micro Motion 4-wire All 4-wire MVD transmitters 1000 ft (300 m)

Maximum lengths for user-supplied 4-wire cableTable 1-2:

Wire function Wire size Maximum length

Power (VDC) 22 AWG (0,35 mm2) 300 ft (90 m)

20 AWG (0,5 mm2) 500 ft (150 m)

18 AWG (0,8 mm2) 1000 ft (300 m)

Signal (RS-485) 22 AWG (0,35 mm2) or larger 1000 ft (300 m)

Planning

□

The sensor will work in any orientation as long as the flow tube remains full of
process fluid.

□

Install the sensor so that the flow direction arrow on the sensor matches the actual
forward flow of the process.

1.2 Best practices

The following information can help you get the most from your sensor.

• There are no pipe run requirements for Micro Motion sensors. Straight runs of pipe

upstream or downstream are unnecessary.

• If the sensor is installed in a vertical pipeline, liquids and slurries should flow upward

through the sensor. Gases may flow upward or downward.

• Keep the sensor tube full of process fluid.

• For halting flow through the sensor with a single valve, install the valve downstream

from the sensor.

• Minimize bending and torsional stress on the meter. Do not use the meter to align

misaligned piping.

• The sensor does not require external supports. The flanges will support the sensor in

any orientation.

1.3

Environmental limits

See

Figure 1-1 for the ambient and process temperature limits of the sensor.
