Installing the DIN Rail Mount Transmitter
4.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to install LF-Series DIN rail mount transmitters. The following general
steps are required:
• Determine the location of the transmitter and other flowmeter components (see Section 4.2)
• Mount the transmitter (see Section 4.3)
• Ground the transmitter (see Section 4.4)
• Supply power to the flowmeter (see Section 4.5)
4.2 Determining an appropriate location
See Figure 4.2.5 for the DIN rail mount installation architecture.
To determine an appropriate location for the transmitter, you must consider the temperature
requirements of the transmitter, hazardous area issues, location of power source, cable lengths, and
accessibility for maintenance.

4.2.1 Temperature requirements
Install the transmitter in an environment where ambient temperature is between –40 and +131 °F
(–40 and +55 °C).
