1.1 About this document
This document provides information on planning, mounting, wiring, and grounding the
TA-Series sensor.
The information in this document assumes that users understand basic transmitter and
sensor installation, configuration, and maintenance concepts and procedures.
1.2 Hazard messages
This document uses the following criteria for hazard messages based on ANSI standards
Z535.6-2011 (R2017).
DANGER
Serious injury or death will occur if a hazardous situation is not avoided.
WARNING
Serious injury or death could occur if a hazardous situation is not avoided.
CAUTION
Minor or moderate injury will or could occur if a hazardous situation is not avoided.
NOTICE
Data loss, property damage, hardware damage, or software damage can occur if a
situation is not avoided. There is no credible risk of physical injury.
Physical access
NOTICE
Unauthorized personnel can potentially cause significant damage and/or misconfiguration
of end users' equipment. Protect against all intentional or unintentional unauthorized use.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and fundamental to
protecting your system. Restrict physical access to protect users' assets. This is true for all
systems used within the facility.

2.1 About this document
This manual provides information on planning, mounting, and grounding the meter. For
information on full configuration, maintenance, troubleshooting, or service of the
transmitter, see the configuration and use manual.
The information in this document assumes that users understand:
•Basic transmitter and sensor installation, configuration, and maintenance concepts
and procedures
•All corporate, local government, and national government safety standards and
requirements that guard against injuries and death
2.2 Installation checklist
□If possible, install the meter in a location that will prevent direct exposure to sunlight.
The environmental limits for the meter may be further restricted by hazardous area
approvals.
□If you plan to mount the meter in a hazardous area:
WARNING
—Verify that the meter has the appropriate hazardous area approval. Each meter
has a hazardous area approval tag attached to the meter housing.
—For ATEX/IECEx installations, strictly adhere to the safety instructions
documented in the ATEX/IECEx approvals documentation available on the
Product Documentation DVD shipped with the product or at www.emerson.com.
Be sure to reference this documentation in addition to the information shown in
this guide.
□Verify that the local ambient and process temperatures are within the limits of the
meter.
□Follow the wiring instructions in the Model 5700 installation manual for signal and
power wiring.
□Mount the meter in a location and orientation that allows sufficient clearance to open
the housing cover. Allow 8 in (203 mm) to 10 in (254 mm) clearance at the wiring
access points.
□Install the meter so that the flow direction arrow on the sensor case matches the actual
forward flow of the process. Flow direction is also software-selectable.

2.2.1 Orientation options
You can mount the meter in any orientation as long as the conduit openings or display do
not point upward. Keep the sensor tubes full of process fluid to achieve best performance.
CAUTION
Installing the meter with the conduit openings or display facing upward risks moisture
entering the housing, which could damage the meter.

Slurries
2.3 Best practices
•There are no pipe run requirements for Emerson meters. Straight runs of pipe
upstream or downstream are unnecessary.
•If the meter is installed in a vertical pipeline, liquids and slurries should flow upward
through the meters. Gases should flow downward.
•Keep the meter tubes full of process fluid.
•For halting flow through the meter with a single valve, install the valve downstream
from the meter.
•Minimize bending and torsional stress on the meter. Do not use the meter to align
misaligned piping.
•The meter does not require external supports. The flanges will support the sensor in
any orientation.
•Do not use the junction box to pick up the meter.
•Do not use the junction box as a step.
•Do not unscrew and rotate the junction box as this will break the wires.
•Do not install the meter in suspended pipes.
•Do not adjust the meter position by pulling or grasping the meter.
