Installing the Field-Mount Transmitter
3.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to install Micro Motion LF-Series field-mount transmitters. The following
general steps are required:
• Determine the location of the transmitter and other flowmeter components (see Section 3.2)
• Mount the transmitter (see Section 3.3)
• Ground the transmitter (see Section 3.4)
• Supply power to the flowmeter (see Section 3.5)
• Rotate the display, if desired and the transmitter has a display (see Section 3.6)
3.2 Determining an appropriate location
To determine an appropriate location for the transmitter, you must consider the environmental
requirements of the transmitter, hazardous area classification, location of power source, cable lengths,
accessibility for maintenance, and visibility of the display (if the transmitter is equipped with a
display).
The field-mount installation architecture is shown in Figure 3-1.
