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.
Planning
1.1.1Installation types
Model 1500 and Model 2500 transmitters can be installed two different ways, only one of
which applies to your specific installation.
•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.

•Remote core processor with remote sensor
– A remote core process with remote
sensor installation separates all three components – transmitter, core processor,
and sensor – all of which are installed separately. A 4-wire cable connects the
transmitter to the core processor, and a 9-wire cable connects the core processor to
the sensor.

1.1.2Maximum cable lengths
The maximum cable length between flowmeter components that are separately installed
is determined by cable type. See Table 1-1.

The transmitter's model number is on a tag on the side of the transmitter. You can use the
model number to determine the transmitter's output option. The first four characters are
the transmitter type. The fifth character is the installation type. The eighth character is the
output option. The remaining characters are not relevant to transmitter installation.

Important
For user-supplied cable glands, the gland must be capable of terminating the drain wires.
Note
If you are installing unshielded cable in continuous metallic conduit with 360º termination shielding,
you only need to prepare the cable – you do not need to perform the shielding procedure.

Apply the Heat Shrink
1. Slide the shielded heat shrink over the drain wires. Ensure that the
wires are completely covered.
2. Apply heat (250 °F or 120 °C) to shrink the tubing. Do not burn the
cable.
3. Position the clamping insert so the interior end is flush with the braid
of the heat shrink.
Assemble the Gland
1. Fold the shield or braid back over the clamping insert and 1/8 inch
(3 mm) past the O-ring.
2. Install the gland body into the conduit opening on the core processor housing.
3. Insert the wires through gland body and tighten the gland nut onto the gland body.

2.2.14-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:

•Twisted pair construction.
•Applicable hazardous area requirements, if the core processor is installed in a
hazardous area.
•Wire gauge appropriate for the cable length between the core processor and the
transmitter.

2.3Wire the transmitter to the sensor
1.Connect the cable to the core processor as described in the sensor documentation.
2.Connect the four wires from the core processor to terminals 1–4 on the transmitter.
Important
Do not ground the shield, braid, or drain wires at the transmitter.

2.4Ground the flowmeter components
In 4-wire remote installations, the transmitter and sensor are grounded separately.

Mounting and sensor wiring for 4-wire remote installations
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:
If the ambient temperature is above 113 °F (45 °C) and you are mounting multiple
transmitters, mount the transmitters so they are at least 0.33 in (8.5 mm) apart.

Mount the remote core processor
This procedure is required only for remote core processor with remote transmitter
installations.
For mounting the remote core processor to a wall:
•Use four 5/16-inch diameter (or M8) bolts and nuts that can withstand the process
environment. Micro Motion does not supply bolts or nuts (appropriate bolts and
nuts are available as an option).
•Ensure that the surface is flat and rigid, does not vibrate, or move excessively.
For mounting the remote core processor to an instrument pole:
•Use two 5/16-inch U-bolts for 2-inch pipe, and four matching nuts, that can
withstand the process environment. Micro Motion does not supply U-bolts or nuts.
•Ensure the instrument pole extends at least 12 inches (305 mm) from a rigid base,
and is no more than 2 inches (50.8 mm) in diameter.
1.If desired, reorient the core processor housing on the bracket.
a. Loosen each of the four cap screws (4 mm).
b. Rotate the bracket so that the core processor is oriented as desired.
c. Tighten the cap screws, torquing to 30 to 38 in-lbs (3 to 4 N-m).

3.3Prepare the 4-wire cable
Important
For user-supplied cable glands, the gland must be capable of terminating the drain wires.
Note
If you are installing unshielded cable in continuous metallic conduit with 360º termination shielding,
you only need to prepare the cable – you do not need to perform the shielding procedure.
