3.4Connecting the transmitter to the sensor

CAUTION

Improper installation of cable, cable gland, or conduit could cause inaccurate measurements or flowmeter failure.

To ensure 360° termination shielding for flowmeter wiring, install the factory-supplied cable gland or user-supplied sealed metallic conduit to the conduit opening on the sensor junction box.

To connect the transmitter to the sensor:

•Micro Motion 9-wire cable is required. See Section 3.4.1 for information on cable types offered by Micro Motion.

•Depending on your cable type, you must either install the cable in conduit or use cable glands. See Section 3.4.2 for information on conduit installations. See Section 3.4.3 for information on cable gland installations.

•For information on connecting the wires to the terminals, see Section 3.4.4.

Micro Motion’s 9-Wire Flowmeter Cable Preparation and Installation Guide, shipped with the cable, provides additional information on cable types, cable preparation, and installation requirements.

3.4.1Cable types

Micro Motion supplies 9-wire jacketed, shielded, or armored cable.

•Jacketed cable is CE-compliant when it is installed inside user-supplied sealed metallic conduit that provides 360° termination shielding for the enclosed cable. See Figure 3-4 for an illustration of jacketed cable.

•Shielded and armored cable are CE-compliant when the cable is installed with the factory-supplied cable glands. See Figure 3-5 for an illustration of shielded cable, and Figure 3-6 for an illustration of armored cable.

•Each cable type is available with a PVC or Teflon® FEP jacket. For temperature ranges of cable jacket materials, see Table 3-1.

See Table 3-2for guidelines on cable selection. All cable types are acceptable for cable tray installation.
