Installing the Transmitter
2.3Determining an appropriate location
To determine an appropriate location for the transmitter, you must consider the environmental requirements of the transmitter and core processor, hazardous area classification, location of power source, cable lengths, accessibility for maintenance, and visibility of the display (if the transmitter is equipped with a display).
2.3.1Environmental requirements
The transmitter’s environmental requirements include temperature, humidity, and vibration.
Temperature limits
Install the transmitter in an environment where ambient temperature is between
Different ambient temperature requirements may apply when installing the transmitter in a hazardous area. Refer to the approval documentation shipped with the transmitter or available on the Micro Motion web site.
Humidity limits
Install the transmitter in an environment where relative humidity is between 5 and 95%,
Vibration limits
The transmitter meets IEC 68.2.6, endurance sweep, 5 to 2000 Hz, 50 sweep cycles at 1.0 g.
2.3.2Hazardous area classifications
If you plan to mount the transmitter in a hazardous area:
•Verify that the transmitter has the appropriate hazardous area approval. Each transmitter has a hazardous area approval tag attached to the transmitter housing.
•Ensure that any cable used between the transmitter and the sensor meets the hazardous area requirements.
For more information about hazardous area classifications and requirements, see Section A.2.
2.3.3Power source
Connect the transmitter to an AC or DC voltage source. The transmitter automatically recognizes the source voltage.
AC power requirements
If you are using AC power, the following requirements apply:
•
•50/60 Hz
•6 watts typical, 11 watts maximum
