1.1 Installation checklist
□
Verify the contents of the product shipment to confirm you have all parts and
information necessary for the installation.
□
Verify the meter calibration range and boundary corresponds to the planned
installation. A calibration mismatch can cause measurement error, and will need to
be corrected.
□
Make sure that all electrical safety requirements are met for the environment in
which the meter will be installed.
□
Make sure that the local ambient and process temperatures and process pressure
are within the limits of the meter.
□
Make sure that the hazardous area specified on the approval tag is suitable for the
environment in which the meter will be installed.
□
Make sure that you will have adequate access to the meter for verification and
maintenance.
□
Verify that you have all equipment necessary for your installation. Depending on
your application, you may be required to install additional parts for optimal
performance of the meter.
□
If your meter will be wired to a remote-mount 2700 FOUNDATION fieldbus
™
transmitter:
- Refer to the instructions in this manual for preparing the 4-wire cable and wiring
to the processor connections.
- Refer to the instructions in the transmitter installation manual for mounting and
wiring the 2700 FOUNDATION fieldbus
™
transmitter. See Micro Motion
Model 1700 and Model 2700 Transmitters: Installation Manual.
- Consider the maximum cable length between the meter and transmitter. The
maximum recommended distance between the two devices is 1000 ft (300 m).
Micro Motion recommends using Micro Motion cable.
