1.1 Installation checklist
□
Make sure that the hazardous area specified on the sensor approval tag is suitable
for the environment in which the sensor is installed.
□
Verify that the local ambient and process temperatures are within the limits of the
sensor. See Environmental limits.
□
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.
□
For the wiring between the sensor and the transmitter, consider maximum cable
lengths (see Table 1-1 and Table 1-2). The maximum distance between the sensor
and transmitter depends on the cable type. For all types of wiring, Micro Motion
recommends using Micro Motion cable.
Planning
Maximum lengths for Micro Motion cableTable 1-1:
Cable type To transmitter Maximum length
Micro Motion 9-wire 9739 MVD transmitter 1000 ft (300 m)
All other MVD transmitters 60 ft (20 m)
Micro Motion 4-wire All 4-wire MVD transmitters 1000 ft (300 m)
Maximum lengths for user-supplied 4-wire cableTable 1-2:
Wire function Wire size Maximum length
Power (VDC) 22 AWG (0,35 mm2) 300 ft (90 m)
20 AWG (0,5 mm2) 500 ft (150 m)

Signal (RS-485) 22 AWG (0,35 mm2) or larger 1000 ft (300 m)
Installation Manual 1
Planning
□
The sensor will work in any orientation as long as the flow tube remains full of
process fluid.
□
Install the sensor so that the flow direction arrow on the sensor matches the actual
forward flow of the process.
1.2 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.
• If the sensor is installed in a vertical pipeline, liquids and slurries should flow upward
through the sensor. Gases may flow upward or downward.
• Keep the sensor tube full of process fluid.
• For halting flow through the sensor with a single valve, install the valve downstream
from the sensor.
• Minimize bending and torsional stress on the meter. Do not use the meter to align
misaligned piping.
• The sensor does not require external supports. The flanges will support the sensor in
any orientation.
1.3
Environmental limits
See
Figure 1-1 for the ambient and process temperature limits of the sensor.

Notes
• When ambient temperature is below –40 °F(–40 °C), a core processor or transmitter must be
heated to bring its local ambient temperature to between –40 °F(–40 °C) and +140 °F(+60 °C).
Long-term storage of electronics at ambient temperatures below –40 °F(–40 °C) is not
recommended.
• Temperature limits may be further restricted by hazardous area approvals. Refer to the hazardous
area approvals documentation shipped with the sensor or available from the Micro Motion web site
(www.micromotion.com).
• The extended-electronics option allows the sensor case to be insulated without covering the
transmitter, core processor, or junction box, but does not affect temperature ratings.
• For the purposes of selecting electronics options, this graph should be used only as a general guide.
If your process conditions are close to the gray areas, it may be inappropriate to use electronics
options other than a junction box. Consult with your Micro Motion representative.
1.4
Recommendations for hygienic and selfdraining applications
For optimal cleanability and drainability:
• If possible, install the sensor in a vertical pipeline with the process fluid flowing
upward through the sensor.
Installation Manual 3
B
A
Planning
• The minimum angle of inclination of the sensor depends on the process fitting. See
Figure 1-2 and Table 1-3.
• For clean-in-place (CIP) applications, Micro Motion recommends using the
generally-accepted flow velocity of at least 1.5 m/s for cleaning the sensor.
• If the process piping must be larger than the sensor, eccentric reducers may be used
to ensure full drainability. In this case, the process end connections for the piping
and sensor must be the same size. See Figure 1-3.
Note
As part of the cleaning process, skid-based systems may be purged with nitrogen at the end
of the cleaning cycle. When using eccentric reducers, it is possible to trap gas in the section of
process piping adjacent to the reducer. Sensor performance can be impacted by intermittent
flow of the captured gas in a liquid fluid stream.
• The gap between the electronics housing and sensor body should be inspected
periodically. Manually clean this gap when necessary.

4 Grounding
The sensor 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, IEC 79-14 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.
If no external standards are applicable, follow these guidelines to ground the sensor:
• Use copper wire, 14 AWG (2,0 mm2) or larger wire size.
• Keep all ground leads as short as possible, less than 1 Ω impedance.
Grounding
• Connect ground leads directly to earth, or follow plant standards.
CAUTION!
Ground the flowmeter 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.
Tip
The sensor electronics may be a transmitter, core processor, or junction box. The grounding
screw may be internal or external.
Installation Manual 11
Supplementary information
5 Supplementary information
5.1 Purge the sensor case
If the sensor has purge fittings, they should remain sealed at all times. After a purge plug
has been removed, the sensor case should be purged with argon or nitrogen and resealed.
Purging the case protects internal components. The sensor is purged of all oxygen and
sealed at the factory. If the purge plugs are never removed, it is not necessary to purge or
re-seal the sensor. For more information, contact Micro Motion Customer Service.
If a purge plug is removed from the sensor case, it will be necessary to repurge the case.
CAUTION!
Take all necessary precautions when removing purge plugs. Removing a purge plug
compromises the secondary containment of the sensor and could expose the user to process
fluid.
CAUTION!
Improper pressurization of the sensor case could result in personal injury. Removing a purge
plug will require the sensor case to be repurged with a dry inert gas. Follow all instructions
provided in the case purging procedure.
Prerequisites
Make sure the following are available before beginning the purge procedure:
• Teflon® tape
• Argon or nitrogen gas sufficient to purge the sensor case
Procedure
1. Shut down the process, or set control devices for manual operation. Before
performing the case purging procedure, shut down the process or set the control
devices for manual operation. Performing the purge procedure while the flowmeter
is operating could affect measurement accuracy, resulting in inaccurate flow signals.
2. Remove both purge plugs from the sensor case. If purge lines are being used, open
the valve in the purge lines.
3. Prepare the purge plugs for reinstallation by wrapping them with 3–5 turns of Teflon
tape.
4. Connect the supply of nitrogen or argon gas to the inlet purge connection or open
inlet purge line. Leave the outlet connection open.
• Exercise caution to avoid introducing dirt, moisture, rust, or other contaminants
into the sensor case.
12 Micro Motion T-Series
Supplementary information
• If the purge gas is heavier than air (such as argon), locate the inlet lower than the
outlet, so that the purge gas will displace air from bottom to top.
• If the purge gas is lighter than air (such as nitrogen), locate the inlet higher than
the outlet, so that the purge gas will displace air from top to bottom.
5. Make sure that there is a tight seal between the inlet connection and sensor case, so
that air cannot be drawn by suction into the case or purge line during the purging
process.
6. Run purge gas through the sensor.
The purge time is the amount of time required for full exchange of atmosphere to
inert gas. The larger the line size, the greater amount of time is required to purge
the case. See Table 5-1. If purge lines are being used, increase the purge time to fill
the additional volume of the purge line.
Note
Keep the purge gas pressure below 30 psig (2 bar).
Purge timeTable 5-1:
Sensor model Purge rate, in ft3/hr (l/h) Time, in minutes
T025 20 (566) 1
T050 20 (566) 1
T075 20 (566) 3
T100 20 (566) 5
T150 20 (566) 10
7. At the appropriate time, shut off the gas supply, then immediately seal the purge
outlet and inlet connections with the purge plugs.
Note
Avoid pressurizing the sensor case. If pressure inside the case elevates above atmospheric
pressure during operation, the flowmeter density calibration will be inaccurate.
8. Make sure that the purge fitting seals are tight so that air cannot be drawn by
suction into the sensor case.
