1 Before you begin

1.1 About this document

This document provides information on planning, mounting, wiring, and grounding the F­Series sensor.

The information in this document assumes that users understand basic transmitter and
sensor installation, configuration, and maintenance concepts and procedures.

1.2 Hazard messages

This document uses the following criteria for hazard messages based on ANSI standards
Z535.6-2011 (R2017).

DANGER

Serious injury or death will occur if a hazardous situation is not avoided.

WARNING

Serious injury or death could occur if a hazardous situation is not avoided.

CAUTION

Minor or moderate injury will or could occur if a hazardous situation is not avoided.

NOTICE

Data loss, property damage, hardware damage, or software damage can occur if a
situation is not avoided. There is no credible risk of physical injury.

Physical access

NOTICE

Unauthorized personnel can potentially cause significant damage and/or misconfiguration
of end users' equipment. Protect against all intentional or unintentional unauthorized use.

Physical security is an important part of any security program and fundamental to
protecting your system. Restrict physical access to protect users' assets. This is true for all
systems used within the facility.

2.1 Installation checklist

□ Make sure that the hazardous area specified on the approval tag is suitable for the

environment in which the meter will be installed.

WARNING

Failure to abide by approvals can cause an explosion resulting in injury or death.

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

meter.

□ 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.

500 ft (152 m) with IIC-rated sensors
1,000 ft (305 m) with IIB-rated sensors

□ For optimal performance, install the sensor in the preferred orientation. The sensor will

work in any orientation as long as the flow tubes remain full of process fluid.

Liquids &
slurries

Gases

□ 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.)

2.2 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.

Secondary preferred
orientation

Alternate suitable
orientation

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

through the sensor. Gases should flow downward.

• Keep the sensor tubes full of process fluid.

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

from the sensor.

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

any orientation.

2.3 Temperature limits

Sensors can be used in the process and ambient temperature ranges shown in the
temperature limit graphs. For the purposes of selecting electronics options, temperature
limit graphs should be used only as a general guide. If your process conditions are close to
the gray area, consult technical support.

Notes

• In all cases, the electronics cannot be operated where the ambient temperature is

below -40 °F (-40.0 °C) or above 140 °F (60.0 °C). If a sensor is to be used where the
ambient temperature is outside of the range permissible for the electronics, the
electronics must be remotely located where the ambient temperature is within the
permissible range, as indicated by the shaded areas of the temperature limit graphs.
