Best practices

The following information can help you get the most from your meter.
Handle the meter with care. Follow local practices for lifting or moving the meter.
Ensure that the process gas is clean and dry.
Do not use gases incompatible with the materials of construction. To prevent
corrosion of the sensing element, the process gas should be compatible with Ni-Span-C.
Do not expose the meter to excessive vibration (greater than 0.5 g continuously).
Vibration levels in excess of 0.5 g can affect the meter accuracy.
Do not operate the meter above its rated pressure or process temperature.
Planning
Install an external coalescing filter in the sample gas inlet pipework to minimize
condensate and dust contamination.
Verify that the filters in your system are not causing any excessive flow restrictions.
Installing the meter in a weather-proof enclosure thermally insulates the meter to
maintain temperature equilibrium between the sample and pipeline gases.
Ensure good ventilation around the meter and/or enclosure to prevent gas build-up
in the unlikely event of a leak.
Ensure meter is not transported when it contains hazardous substances, including
fluids that may have leaked into and are still contained within the case.

1.4 Recommended installation for specific gravity applications

To ensure optimum performance of the meter, Micro Motion recommends that you install the meter inside an enclosure that is mounted to a wall. The following diagram illustrates the recommended installation of the SGM.

Terminals and wiring requirements

Intrinsically safe output wiring
Heater wiring
3.1 Terminals and wiring requirements
Three pairs of wiring terminals are available for transmitter outputs. These outputs vary depending on your transmitter output option ordered. The Analog (mA), Time Period Signal (TPS), and Discrete (DO) outputs require external power, and must be connected to an independent 24 VDC power supply.
For meters connecting to a remote-mount Model 2700 FOUNDATION™ fieldbus transmitter, you must wire the meter to the remote-mount Model 2700 transmitter using a 4-wire cable connection. See the processor wiring content in this manual for information on how to wire the meter.
The screw connectors for each output terminal accept a maximum wire size of 14 AWG (2.5 mm2).
Important
Output wiring requirements depend on the hazardous area classification of the environment
in which the meter is installed. It is your responsibility to verify that this installation meets all corporate, local, and national safety requirements and electrical codes.
If you will configure the meter to poll an external temperature or pressure device, you must
wire the mA output to support HART communications. You may use either HART/mA single­loop wiring or HART multi-drop wiring.

Hazardous area voltage
Hazardous area current
The meter entity parameters require the selected barrier’s open­circuit voltage to be limited to less than 30 VDC (Vmax = 30 VDC).
The meter entity parameters require the selected barrier’s short­circuit currents to sum to less than 484 mA (Imax = 484 mA) for all outputs.
Hazardous area capacitance
The capacitance (Ci) of the meter is 0.0011 μF. This value added to the wire capacitance (Ccable) must be lower than the maximum allowable capacitance (Ca) specified by the safety barrier. Use the following equation to calculate the maximum length of the cable between the meter and the barrier: Ci + Ccable ≤ Ca
Hazardous area inductance
The inductance (Li) of the meter is 0.0 μH. This value plus the field wiring inductance (Lcable), must be lower than the maximum allowable inductance (La) specified by the safety barrier. The following equation can then be used to calculate the maximum cable length between the meter and the barrier: Li + Lcable ≤ La

4 Grounding
The meter must be grounded according to the standards that are applicable at the site. The customer is responsible for knowing and complying with all applicable standards.
Prerequisites
Micro Motion suggests the following guides for grounding practices:
In Europe, EN 60079-14 is applicable to most installations, in particular Sections
12.2.2.3 and 12.2.2.4.
In the U.S.A. and Canada, ISA 12.06.01 Part 1 provides examples with associated
applications and requirements.
For IECEx installations, IEC 60079-14 is applicable.
If no external standards are applicable, follow these guidelines to ground the meter:
Use copper wire, 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) or larger wire size.
Keep all ground leads as short as possible, less than 1 Ω impedance.
Connect ground leads directly to earth, or follow plant standards.

Grounding

CAUTION!
Ground the meter to earth, or follow ground network requirements for the facility. Improper grounding can cause measurement error.
Procedure
Check the joints in the pipeline.
- If the joints in the pipeline are ground-bonded, the sensor is automatically grounded
and no further action is necessary (unless required by local code).
- If the joints in the pipeline are not grounded, connect a ground wire to the grounding
screw located on the sensor electronics.
