Grounding

Step 5 Grounding

The sensor can be grounded via the piping if the joints in the pipeline are ground-bonded. If the sensor is not grounded via the piping, connect a ground wire to the internal or external grounding screw, which is located on the core processor housing or junction box.

Improper grounding can cause measurement error. Ground the flowmeter to earth, or follow ground network requirements for the facility.

If national standards are not in effect, follow these guidelines to ground the sensor:

•Use copper wire, 14 AWG (2,0 mm²) or larger wire size for grounding.

•Keep all ground leads as short as possible, less than 1 ohm impedance.

•Connect ground leads directly to earth, or follow plant standards.
