Orienting the Sensor

Step 2 Orienting the Sensor

The sensor will function properly in any orientation if the sensor tubes remain filled with process fluid. Micro Motion recommends orienting ELITE sensors as shown in Table 3.

Table 3 Recommended sensor orientations

Sensor model	Application	Recommended orientation
CMF010	All applications	Tubes flat
		Horizontal pipeline
CMF025, CMF050,	Liquids	Tubes down
and CMF100		Horizontal pipeline
	Gases and slurries	Tubes up
		Horizontal pipeline
CMF200, CMF300,	Liquids	Tubes down
CMF400, and		Horizontal pipeline
CMFHC3
	Gases	Tubes up
		Horizontal pipeline
	Slurries	Flag mount
		Vertical pipeline

Flow direction arrow

The sensor has a flow direction arrow (see Figures 1–4) to help you configure the transmitter for flow direction. If possible, install the sensor so that the flow direction arrow matches actual process flow.

Vertical pipeline

If the sensor is installed in a vertical pipeline, liquids and slurries should flow upward through the sensor. Gases may flow upward or downward.
