1.3Flowmeter components
The Model 1700 or 2700 transmitter is one component in your Micro Motion flowmeter. Other major components include:
•The sensor, which provides measurement functions
•The core processor, which provides memory and processing functions
1.4Transmitter type, installation type, and outputs option board
To install the transmitter, you must know your transmitter type, installation type, and outputs option board. This section provides information on obtaining this information. The codes described below match the codes that were used to order your transmitter.
1.Obtain the transmitter's model number, which is provided on a tag attached to the side of the transmitter.
•Model 1700 transmitters have a model number of the form 1700xxxxxxxxxx.
•Model 2700 transmitters have a model number of the form 2700xxxxxxxxxx.
2.The fifth character in the model number (xxxxXxxxxxxxxx) represents the installation type that was ordered:
•R = remote
•I = integral (transmitter mounted on sensor)
•C = transmitter/core processor assembly
•B = remote core processor with remote transmitter
Note: For more information on installation type, see Figure
3.The eighth character in the model number (xxxxxxxXxxxxxx) represents the outputs option board.
•A = transmitter with analog outputs option board (one mA, one frequency, one
•B = transmitter with configurable input/outputs option board, default output configuration (two mA, one frequency)
•C = transmitter with configurable input/outputs option board, customized output configuration
•D = transmitter with intrinsically safe analog outputs option board
•E = transmitter with intrinsically safe (FISCO compliant) FOUNDATION fieldbus outputs option board
•N = transmitter with
•G = transmitter with
Note: The remaining characters in the model number describe options that do not affect transmitter installation.
The following examples illustrate use of the model number to determine transmitter type, installation type, and output board type:
•1700RxxAxxxxxx = Model 1700 remote transmitter with analog outputs option board
•2700CxxDxxxxxx = Model 2700 transmitter/core processor assembly with intrinsically safe outputs option board
