Note
Hygienic applications
If the device is wall or pipe-mounted in a hygienic application, always use domed nuts.
Mounting the transmitter
1. Remove screw from mounting bracket.
2. Mount transmitter on mounting bracket taking care that the flutes on the mating faces are correctly engaged.
3. Firmly tighten screw on mounting bracket (torque: 25 Nm).
Turning the transmitter
In a remote configuration, the transmitter can be turned horizontally and vertically. In a compact configuration, the transmitter
can be turned horizontally only.
Horizontal rotation
1. Unscrew cap from lock screw.
2. Loosen lock screw at transmitter pedestal using 5 mm Allen key.
3. Carefully rotate transmitter into desired position.
4. Firmly tighten lock screw (torque: 10 Nm).
5. Replace cap onto lock screw (torque: 10 Nm).

Vertical rotation
1. Loosen locking cap at end of mounting bracket by three turns.
2. Carefully loosen and rotate transmitter into desired position (15° steps).
3. Firmly tighten locking cap (torque: 25 Nm).
Turning the local display
The local display can be turned in steps of 30° in order to optimize the viewing angle.
1. Remove lid lock screw of display cover.
2. Remove display cover.
3. Use a small screwdriver or blade to loosen the three retaining clips within the transmitter.
4. Carefully pull out local display.
5. Turn display into desired position.
6. Carefully push display back into housing. Use a small screwdriver or blade to open the three retaining clips within the
transmitter when pushing the LUI home.
7. Remove o-ring from lid.

8. Reinstate display cover until mechanical stop. Wind back lid by one turn.
9. Mount o-ring by pulling it over the display cover and turn display cover until you feel friction from the o-ring on both sides.
Wind display cover further by one quarter of a turn to seal on the o-ring.
10. Reinstate and tighten lid lock screw.
Connecting
Access to terminal space
As long as the device is energized, the lid of the housing on the sensor connection area may only be opened by qualified
personnel.
Before removing the terminal cover, the auxiliary power must be switched off from all poles.
Following installation, the terminal cover must be screwed back on again.
1. Remove blind plugs where required and mount cable glands.
Input/output connection (channels 2 to 4)
Current output/HART connection (channel 1)
2. Remove lid lock screw for terminal connections lid.
3. Remove lid for terminal connections.
