Topics covered in this chapter:
•Installation checklist
•Best practices
•Environmental limits
•Recommendations for hygienic and self-draining applications
1.1 Installation checklist
□Make sure that the hazardous area specified on the sensor approval tag is suitable
for the environment in which the sensor is installed.
□Verify that the local ambient and process temperatures are within the limits of the
sensor. See Environmental limits.
□If your sensor has an integral transmitter, no wiring is required between the sensor
and transmitter. Follow the wiring instructions in the transmitter installation manual
for signal and power wiring.
□If your transmitter has remote-mounted electronics, follow the instructions in this
manual for wiring between the sensor and the transmitter, and then follow the
instructions in the transmitter installation manual for power and signal wiring.
□For the wiring between the sensor and the transmitter, consider maximum cable
lengths (see Table 1-1 and Table 1-2). The maximum distance between the sensor
and transmitter depends on the cable type. For all types of wiring, Micro Motion
recommends using Micro Motion cable.
Maximum lengths for Micro Motion cableTable 1-1:
Cable type To transmitter Maximum length
Micro Motion 9-wire 9739 MVD transmitter 1000 ft (300 m)
All other MVD transmitters 60 ft (20 m)
Micro Motion 4-wire All 4-wire MVD transmitters 1000 ft (300 m)
Maximum lengths for user-supplied 4-wire cableTable 1-2:
Wire function Wire size Maximum length
Power (VDC) 22 AWG (0,35 mm2) 300 ft (90 m)
20 AWG (0,5 mm2) 500 ft (150 m)
18 AWG (0,8 mm2) 1000 ft (300 m)
Signal (RS-485) 22 AWG (0,35 mm2) or larger 1000 ft (300 m)

Installation Manual 1

□The sensor will work in any orientation as long as the flow tube remains full of
process fluid.
□Install the sensor so that the flow direction arrow on the sensor matches the actual
forward flow of the process.
1.2 Best practices
The following information can help you get the most from your sensor.
•There are no pipe run requirements for Micro Motion sensors. Straight runs of pipe
upstream or downstream are unnecessary.
•If the sensor is installed in a vertical pipeline, liquids and slurries should flow upward
through the sensor. Gases may flow upward or downward.
•Keep the sensor tube full of process fluid.
•For halting flow through the sensor with a single valve, install the valve downstream
from the sensor.
•Minimize bending and torsional stress on the meter. Do not use the meter to align
misaligned piping.
•The sensor does not require external supports. The flanges will support the sensor in
any orientation.
1.3 Environmental limits
See Figure 1-1 for the ambient and process temperature limits of the sensor.

Notes
•When ambient temperature is below –40 °F(–40 °C), a core processor or transmitter must be
heated to bring its local ambient temperature to between –40 °F(–40 °C) and +140 °F(+60 °C).
Long-term storage of electronics at ambient temperatures below –40 °F(–40 °C) is not
recommended.
•Temperature limits may be further restricted by hazardous area approvals. Refer to the hazardous
area approvals documentation shipped with the sensor or available from the Micro Motion web site
(www.micromotion.com).
•The extended-electronics option allows the sensor case to be insulated without covering the
transmitter, core processor, or junction box, but does not affect temperature ratings.
•For the purposes of selecting electronics options, this graph should be used only as a general guide.
If your process conditions are close to the gray areas, it may be inappropriate to use electronics
options other than a junction box. Consult with your Micro Motion representative.
1.4 Recommendations for hygienic and self-
draining applications
For optimal cleanability and drainability:
•If possible, install the sensor in a vertical pipeline with the process fluid flowing
upward through the sensor.
Planning
Installation Manual 3

•The minimum angle of inclination of the sensor depends on the process fitting. See
Figure 1-2 and Table 1-3.
•For clean-in-place (CIP) applications, Micro Motion recommends using the
generally-accepted flow velocity of at least 1.5 m/s for cleaning the sensor.
•If the process piping must be larger than the sensor, eccentric reducers may be used
to ensure full drainability. In this case, the process end connections for the piping
and sensor must be the same size. See Figure 1-3.
Note
As part of the cleaning process, skid-based systems may be purged with nitrogen at the end
of the cleaning cycle. When using eccentric reducers, it is possible to trap gas in the section of
process piping adjacent to the reducer. Sensor performance can be impacted by intermittent
flow of the captured gas in a liquid fluid stream.
•The gap between the electronics housing and sensor body should be inspected
periodically. Manually clean this gap when necessary.

2 Mounting
2.1 Mount the sensor
Use your common practices to minimize torque and bending load on process connections.
Tip
To reduce the risk of condensation or excessive moisture, the conduit opening should not point
upward (if possible). The conduit opening of the junction box or core processor can be rotated freely
to facilitate wiring.
Procedure
Mount the sensor in the pipeline (see Figure 2-1).
Mounting the sensorFigure 2-1:
Notes
•Do not use the sensor to support the piping.
•The sensor does not require external supports. The flanges will support the sensor in any orientation.
CAUTION!
Do not lift the sensor by the electronics or purge connections. Lifting the sensor by the
electronics or purge connections can damage the device.
