1.1Installation kit
The installation kit includes a bezel, frame, two mounting brackets with screws, a power
supply wiring connector, and a retaining clip assembly for power supply wiring. See Figure
1-1).
The applications platform fits through a 5 7/16-inch (138 mm) square cutout in a panel
that is 5/64 inch (2 mm) to 1/2 inch (13 mm) thick. The bezel provides a IP65 watertight
seal between the panel cutout and the applications platform housing. See Figure 1-1.
In addition, the installation kit includes either:
•A bracketed wiring connector for screw-type connectors. See Figure 3-2.
•I/O cables and connectors. See Figure 3-3.

3.2.3Wiring instructions for remote core processor with
remote transmitter installations
There are two phases to this procedure:
•Wiring the remote core processor to the transmitter
•Wiring the sensor to the remote core processor
To wire the remote core processor to the transmitter:
1. Use one of the following methods to shield the wiring:
Installation methodProcedure
Unshielded wiring in continuous metallic conduit that provides 360°
termination shielding for the enclosed wiring
User-supplied cable gland with shielded cable or armored cable,
terminate the shields in the cable gland. Terminate both the armored
braid and the shield drain wires in the cable gland
A Micro Motion-supplied cable gland at the core processor housingGo to Step 2
2. Do one of the following:
•If you are using shielded cable, prepare the cable and apply shielded heat shrink
as described in Step 6. The shielded heat shrink provides a shield termination

3. Identify the components shown in Figure 2-1.
4. Remove the core processor lid.
5. Slide the gland nut and the clamping insert over the cable. See Figure 3-11.
Figure 3-11: Gland nut and clamping insert
Wiring
6. For connection at the core processor housing, prepare shielded cable as follows (for
armored cable, omit steps d, e, f, and g):
a. Strip 4 1/2 inches (114 mm) of cable jacket.
b. Remove the clear wrap that is inside the cable jacket, and remove the filler material
between the wires.
c. Remove the foil shield that is around the insulated wires, leaving 3/4 inch (19 mm)
of foil or braid and drain wires exposed, and separate the wires.
d. Wrap the shield drain wires around the exposed foil twice. See Figure 3-12. Cut off
g. Position the gland clamping insert so that the interior end is flush with the heat
shrink.
h. Fold the cloth shield or braid and drain wires over the clamping insert and
approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm) past the O-ring. See Figure 3-14.
Figure 3-14: Folded cloth
i. Install the gland body into the core processor housing conduit opening. See Figure
3-15.

8. Identify the wires in the 4-wire cable.
The 4-wire cable supplied by Micro Motion consists of one pair of 18 AWG (0,75 mm
wires (red and black) for the VDC connection, and one pair of 22 AWG (0,35 mm
2
) wire
(green and white) for the RS-485 connection.
9. Connect the four wires to the numbered slots on the core processor. See Figure 3-16.

Figure 3-16: Connect the four wires to the numbered slots
10. Connect the core processor housing internal ground screw if earth ground is required.
Earth ground is required if the core processor cannot be grounded via sensor piping,
and local codes require internal ground connections.
Do not connect shield drain wires to this terminal.
11. Reinstall and tighten the core processor lid.
WARNING!
Do not twist the core processor, as this will damage the sensor.
12. Connect the cable to the transmitter.

2. Plug the I/O cable connector onto the terminal block. Tighten
the captive screws to secure the connector to the terminal
block.
3. Connect the four wires from the core processor to the
appropriate terminals on the terminal block. See Table 3-3 and
Figure 3-9. No bare wires should remain exposed. Do not ground
the shield, braid, or drain wire(s) at the transmitter.
3.3Wire the sensor to the remote core processor
CAUTION!
Do not allow the shield drain wires to contact the sensor junction box, as this can cause meter
errors.
1. Refer to Micro Motion’s 9-Wire Flowmeter Cable Preparation and Installation Guide and
follow the instructions on cable shielding and preparation.
•At the sensor end, follow the instructions for your cable type.
•At the core processor end, follow the instructions for your cable type with an MVD
transmitter.
2. To connect the wires, refer to Micro Motion’s 9-Wire Flowmeter Cable Preparation and Installation Guide and follow the instructions for your sensor with an MVD transmitter.
Additional information for connecting the wires at the core processor is provided
below:
a. Identify the components shown in Figure 2-1.
b. Remove the core processor’s end-cap.
c. Insert the 9-wire cable through the conduit opening.
d. Connect the wires to the plugs supplied with the core processor.
e. Insert the plugs into the sockets inside the lower conduit ring. See Figure 3-17.

mounting screw. Do not ground the cable at the sensor junction
box.
Shielded or armored cableGround the shield drain wires (the black wire) only on the core
processor end, by connecting it to the ground screw inside the
lower conduit ring. Do not ground to the core processor’s
mounting screw. Do not ground the cable at the sensor junction
box.
Ground the cable braid on both ends, by terminating it inside the
cable glands.
Wiring
4. Ensure the integrity of the gaskets, grease all O-rings, then close the junction box
housing and core processor end-cap, and tighten all screws.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the wires are not caught or pinched when you close the housing to reduce the risk of
measurement error or meter failure.
3.4Connect the power supply wiring
CAUTION!
• Do not install power supply wiring in the same cable tray or conduit as the input/output
wiring to avoid device failure or measurement error.
• Shut off the power supply before installing the applications platform.
• Make sure the power supply voltage matches the voltage that is indicated on the power

) wiring to the power supply wiring connector.
See Figure 1-1.
2. Ground the transmitter as follows:
a. Connect the ground wire to the green power supply ground screw. See Figure 3-1.
b. Connect the power supply ground wire directly to earth ground.
c. Keep all ground leads as short as possible.
d. Ensure that all ground wiring has less than 1 ohm impedance.
3. Plug the power supply wiring connector into the power supply wiring terminals. See
Figure 3-18.
4. Slide the retaining clip over the wiring, then tighten the screw to hold the clip in place.
See Figure 1-1.
5. (Optional). Install a user-supplied switch in the power supply line.
In Europe, install the switch close to the Model 3300 or Model 3500 in order to comply
with low-voltage directive 2006/95/EC. For details, see standard EN 61010-1:2010
