UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

MODEL Xmt-P

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Inspect the shipping container. If it is damaged, contact the shipper immediately for instructions. Save the box. If there is no apparent damage, unpack the container. Be sure all items shown on the packing list are present. If items are missing, notify Emerson Process Management immediately.

INSTALLATION

1.Although the transmitter is suitable for outdoor use, do not install it in direct sunlight or in areas of extreme temperatures.

2.Install the transmitter in an area where vibrations and electromagnetic and radio frequency interference are minimized or absent.

3.Keep the transmitter and sensor wiring at least one foot from high voltage conductors. Be sure there is easy access to the transmitter.

4.The transmitter is suitable for panel (Figure 3), pipe (Figure 4), or surface (Figure 5) mounting.

5.The transmitter case has two 1/2-inch (PG13.5) con- duit openings and either one or four 1/2-inch knock- outs. The panel mount Xmt-P-FF/FI has four knock- outs. The pipe/surface mount transmitter has two knockouts*. One conduit opening is for the power/out- put cable; the other opening is for the sensor cable.

Figure 1 shows how to remove a knockout. The knockout grooves are on the outside of the case. Place the screwdriver blade on the inside of the case and align it approximately along the groove. Rap the screwdriver sharply with a hammer until the groove cracks. Move the screwdriver to an uncracked portion of the groove and continue the process until the knockout falls out. Use a small knife to remove the flash from the inside of the hole.

6.Use weathertight cable glands to keep moisture out to the transmitter. If conduit is used, plug and seal the connections at the transmitter housing to prevent moisture from getting inside the instrument.

7.To reduce the likelihood of stress on wiring connec- tions, do not remove the hinged front panel (-11 mod- els) from the base during wiring installation. Allow sufficient wire leads to avoid stress on conductors.

*NEMA plug may be supplied instead of knockout for pipe/surface version.
