Regulatory Compliance
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
GE is an active participant in Europe’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) take-back initiative (Directive 2012/19/EU).
The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end life equipment in a sound way. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse and recycling systems, please contact your local or regional waste administration. Visit http://www.gemeasurement.com/environmental-health-safety-ehs for takeback instructions and more information about this initiative.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
This device complies with Industry Canada's licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1.This device may not cause interference; and
2.This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
MPE Reminding
To satisfy FCC/IC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended.
Les antennes installées doivent être situées de facon à ce que la population ne puisse y être exposée à une distance de moin de 20 cm. Installer les antennes de facon à ce que le personnel ne puisse approcher à 20 cm ou moins de la position centrale de l' antenne. La FCC des éltats-unis stipule que cet appareil doit être en tout temps éloigné d'au moins 20 cm des personnes pendant son functionnement.

2.1 Introduction
To ensure safe and reliable operation of the PT900, the system must be installed in accordance with established GE guidelines. Those guidelines are explained in detail in this chapter and include the following topics:
•Unpacking the PT900 (see page 4)
•Mounting the PT900 Transmitter (see page 7)
•Installing the Clamp-On Fixture and Transducers (see page 7)
•Making the Electrical Connections (see page 33)
WARNING! The PT900 flow transmitter can measure the flow rate of many fluids, some of which are potentially hazardous. The importance of proper safety practices cannot be overemphasized.
WARNING! Be sure to follow all applicable local safety codes and regulations for installing electrical equipment and working with hazardous fluids or flow conditions. Consult company safety personnel or local safety authorities to verify the safety of any procedure or practice.
ATTENTION EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS! To meet CE Mark and UL Mark requirements, all cables must meet the specifications in
“Customer Cable Requirements for AIO/DIO Connections” on page 161.

2.4 Mounting the PT900 Transmitter
The PT900 portable transmitter is housed in a durable rubberized enclosure suitable for indoor or outdoor use. It can be placed in the hard carrier case or mounted on the pipe with the either the soft strap or the magnetic clamp (see Figure 4 below).
Note: The pipe temperature must be between -20°C and about +40°C to safely use the soft strap or magnetic clamp for mounting the transmitter.

2.5.2 Transducer Spacing Calculation
ATTENTION! The required transducer spacing is calculated by the APP after you program the PIPE, FLUID, TRANSDUCER and PLACEMENT menus. Before proceeding with this installation, you must complete the programming starting in Chapter 4. Programming on page 63 up to “Viewing the Transducer Spacing” on page 79. Use that calculated transducer spacing in the following sections.
2.5.3 Mounting the PT9 Clamp-On Fixture
To mount the PT9 clamp-on fixture (see Figure 7 below) on the pipe, complete the following steps:
Figure 7: PT9 Clamp-On Fixture with CRR Transducers
1.Before mounting the clamp-on fixture, refer to Figure 8 on page 10 and proceed as follows:
•Ensure that the chain mechanism screws (A) that are attached to the end piece flats are fully loosened.
•Ensure that the last link on the chain is secured within the chain mechanism screw slot (B) on both sides of the end piece.
•Ensure that the thumb screw (C) is tightened on the movable clamp so that no motion is allowed during the mounting process.

6.To install a chain around the pipe, refer to Figure 13 on page 13 and complete the following steps:
a.Identify the chain screw mechanism, the end flat and the chain slot on the clamping fixture end piece closest to the reference pipe fitting.
b.Unscrew the chain screw mechanism, then wrap the metal chain all the way around the pipe.
c.Push down on the top of the chain screw mechanism and hold it down. Then, pull the chain so that it is snug around the pipe and slide the chain into the small slot located at the opposite side of the end piece from the chain screw mechanism.
d.Release the chain screw mechanism and tighten it just enough to remove any slack in the chain.

2.5.3Mounting the Clamp-On Fixture (cont.)
7.Repeat the previous steps to install the chain at the opposite end of the clamp-on fixture (see Figure 14 below). The clamp-on fixture should be firmly mounted to the pipe, but it should still be loose enough to allow final alignment.
Figure 14: Fixture With Chains Installed
8.Rotate the fixture to the 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock position on the pipe (see Figure 15 below). Installation on the top or bottom of the pipe is not recommended. Make sure the pipe still rests in the cutout slot on the bottom of both end pieces, to ensure that the fixture is parallel to the pipe centerline.
