INTRODUCTION
The sensor makes up one part of a Coriolis flowmeter. The other part is a
transmitter.
Installation options
The CMF400 sensor is available with:
• An integral core processor for connecting to a 4-wire remotely
mounted transmitter or to a user-supplied remote host (see Figure 1 or
Figure 2).
• A 9-wire junction box for connecting to a remotely mounted
transmitter, or to a remotely mounted core processor (see Figure 3 or
Figure 4).

General guidelines
The following conditions must be met:
• Before operation, you must be able to stop flow through the sensor.
(During the zeroing procedure, flow must be stopped completely, and
the sensor must be full of process fluid.)
• During operation, the sensor must remain full of process fluid.
• The sensor must be installed in an area that is compatible with the
classification specified on the sensor approvals tag (see Figures 1-4).
Hazardous area installations
Make sure the hazardous area specified on the sensor approvals tag is
suitable for the environment in which the sensor is installed. See
Figures 1-4. For installation in an area that requires intrinsic safety, refer
to Micro Motion UL, CSA, or ATEX documentation, shipped with the
sensor or available from the Micro Motion web site.
For a complete list of hazardous area classifications for Micro Motion
sensors, refer to the Expert2system at www.expert2.com.
Environmental limits
Install the sensor in a location that falls within the following limits:
• Process fluid temperature limits between –40 to +140 °F
(–40 to +60 °C) for the integrally mounted booster amplifier with
either the core processor or junction box.
• Process fluid temperature limits between –400 to +400 °F
(–240 to +200 °C) for the remotely mounted booster amplifier with
either the core processor or junction box.
• Ambient temperature limits between –40 to +140 °F (–40 to +60 °C)
with core processor or junction box.
For ATEX approvals, process fluid temperature can be further restricted
by ambient temperatures. For guidelines, go to
www.micromotion.com/atex.

7
Maximum wiring distances
Use these guidelines for calculating maximum wiring distances.
Maximum distance between sensor and transmitter depends on cable
type. See Table 1.
.
The sensor is shipped with 10 feet (3 meters) of cable for connecting to
the remote booster amplifier. For longer cable lengths, up to 60 ft (20 m),
contact Micro Motion.
STEP 2. Orienting the sensor
The sensor will function properly in any orientation if the sensor tubes
remain filled with process fluid. Micro Motion recommends orienting the
CMF400 sensor as shown in Figure 5.
Flow direction arrow
The sensor has a flow direction arrow (see Figures 1-4) to help you
configure the transmitter for flow direction. If possible, install the sensor
so that the flow direction arrow matches actual process flow.

STEP 3. Mounting the sensor
Use your common practices to minimize torque and bending load on
process connections. Figure 6 illustrates how to mount the sensor. If
possible, install wiring with the conduit opening pointed downward to
reduce the risk of condensation or excessive moisture.

WARNING
Explosion hazard
The CMF400 has drain plugs, which look similar to purge
fittings. The drain plugs must remain sealed at all times.
Do not remove or damage CMF400 drain plugs.

STEP 4. Wiring to the booster amplifier
Remote booster amplifier wiring
The remotely mounted booster amplifier is mounted up to 10 feet
(3 meters) from the sensor. See Figure 7.
• Provide 85-250 VAC of power.
• Figures 8 and 9 illustrate how to connect power-supply wiring.

STEP 5. Wiring the sensor to the transmitter
Installation options
The sensor has one of the following configurations:
• A core processor to a 4-wire remote transmitter or remote host
(requires a 4-wire cable); see Core processor to a 4-wire remote
transmitter or remote host, page 14.
• 9-wire junction box to a remote transmitter (requires a 9-wire cable);
see 9-wire junction box cable wiring, page 19.
WARNING
Failure to comply with requirements for intrinsic
safety in a hazardous area could result in an
explosion.
• For installation in an area that requires intrinsic safety,
refer to Micro Motion UL, CSA, or ATEX
documentation, shipped with the sensor or available
from the Micro Motion web site.
• For hazardous area installations in Europe, refer to
standard EN 60079-14 if national standards do not
apply.
CAUTION
Failure to seal the sensor and transmitter housings
could cause a short circuit, which would result in
measurement error or flowmeter failure.
• Ensure integrity of gaskets and O-rings.
• Grease all O-rings before sealing.
• Install drip legs in cable or conduit.
• Seal all conduit openings.

14
Core processor to a 4-wire remote transmitter or remote host
To connect wiring at the core processor:
1. Use one of the following methods to shield the wiring from the core
processor to the remote transmitter:
• If you are installing unshielded wiring in continuous metallic
conduit that provides 360° termination shielding for the enclosed
wiring, go to Step 6, page 17.
• If you are installing user-supplied cable gland with shielded cable
or armored cable, terminate the shields in the cable gland.
Terminate both the armored braid and the shield drain wires in the
cable gland.
• If you are installing a Micro Motion-supplied cable gland at the
core processor housing:
- Prepare the cable and apply shielded heat shrink as described
below. The shielded heat shrink provides a shield termination
suitable for use in the gland when using cable whose shield
consists of foil and not a braid. Proceed to Step 2.
- With armored cable, where the shield consists of braid,
prepare the cable as described below, but do not apply heat
shrink. Proceed to Step 2.
2. Remove the cover from the core processor.
3. Slide the gland nut and the clamping insert over the cable.

15
4. For connection at the core processor housing, prepare shielded cable
as follows (for armored cable, omit steps d, e, f, and g):
a. Strip 4 1/2 inches (114 mm) of cable jacket.
b. Remove the clear wrap that is inside the cable jacket, and remove
the filler material between the wires.
c. Remove the foil shield that is around the insulated wires, leaving
3/4 inch (19 mm) of foil or braid and drain wires exposed, and
separate the wires.
d. Wrap the shield drain wire(s) around the exposed foil twice. Cut
off the excess wire.
e. Place the EMI-shielded heat shrink over the exposed shield drain
wire(s). The tubing should completely cover the drain wires.

f. Without burning the cable, apply heat (250 °F or 120 °C) to
shrink the tubing.
g. Position gland clamping insert so the interior end is flush with the
heat shrink.
h. Fold the cloth shield or braid and drain wires over the clamping
insert and approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm) past the O-ring.
i. Install the gland body into the core processor housing conduit
opening.
