□Verify the retrofit wiring requirements, which may vary depending on your existing
transmitter configuration:
-Confirm the CDM input/output wiring requirements (see Chapter 4).
Tip
Depending on your current configuration, you may need additional wiring or can reuse
wiring that had been connected to devices no longer needed.
-For intrinsically safe hazardous area installations, you must purchase new barriers
or isolators. You cannot reuse existing safety barriers or galvanic isolators for
connecting to the CDM.
Tip
Micro Motion provides safety barrier and galvanic isolator installation kits for wiring the
CDM in a hazardous environment. These kits provide the appropriate barriers or isolators
depending on the outputs available and approvals required. Contact
□If your meter will be wired to a remote-mount 2700 FOUNDATION™ fieldbus
transmitter:
-Refer to the instructions in this manual for preparing the 4-wire cable and wiring
to the processor connections. See Section 4.6.
-Refer to the instructions in the transmitter installation manual for mounting and
wiring the 2700 FOUNDATION™ fieldbus transmitter.
-Consider the maximum cable length between the meter and transmitter. The
maximum recommended distance between the two devices is 1000 ft (300 m).
Micro Motion recommends using Micro Motion cable.
□Install the meter so that the flow direction arrow on the meter case matches the
actual forward flow of the process. (Flow direction is also software-selectable.)
□For optimal performance, thermally insulate the meter and the inlet and bypass-
loop pipeline to maintain stable temperatures.
Tip
Micro Motion offers a soft, weather-proof insulating jacket that is easily fitted to all CDM
versions.
1.3 Best practices
The following information can help you get the most from your meter.
•Handle the meter with care. Follow local practices for lifting or moving the meter.
•Perform a Known Density Verification (KDV) check of the meter prior to installing
the meter in your system.
•Install the meter in the preferred orientation in a vertical pipeline with liquids and
slurries flowing upward.
