3.1Considerations for ST 3000 Transmitter
Evaluate conditions The ST 3000 transmitter is designed to operate in common indoor industrial environments as well as outdoors. To assure optimum performance, evaluate these conditions at the mounting area relative to published transmitter specifications and accepted installation practices for electronic pressure transmitters.
•Environmental Conditions
–Ambient Temperature
–Relative Humidity
•Potential Noise Sources
–Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
–Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
•Vibration Sources
–Pumps
–Motorized Valves
–Valve Cavitation
•Process Characteristics
–Temperature
–Maximum Pressure Rating
Figure 4 illustrates typical mounting area considerations to make before installing a transmitter.
