2.1.2Orientation and mounting

Orient the transmitter so wiring compartments and conduit openings are easily accessible.

•To rotate the transmitter on the sensor manifold or the mounting bracket, use the four supplied mounting bolt assemblies. Each bolt assembly includes one M8 bolt, one lock washer, and one flat washer. Remove the bolt assemblies, rotate the transmitter, then reinstall the bolt assemblies to 12 ft-lb (16 N-m) of torque.

•If the transmitter will be integrally mounted to a Micro Motion F-Series sensor, see the sensor product data sheet for transmitter and sensor dimensions, and see the instruction manual that was shipped with the sensor for information about flowmeter mounting and location.

•If the transmitter will be remotely mounted, use the supplied bolt assemblies to attach the transmitter to the mounting bracket. Attach the bracket to a rigid, stable surface or instrument pole that will not transfer excessive vibration into the transmitter. See Chapter 3 for more information about remote mounting.

2.1.3Temperature, humidity, and vibration

Install the transmitter according to specified limits:

•Ambient temperature

-without optional LCD: –22 to +131 °F (–30 to +55 °C)

-with optional LCD: 32 to 131 °F (0 to 55 °C)
