•Installation checklist
•Best practices
•Recommended installation for specific gravity applications
•Power requirements
1.1 Installation and commissioning overview
Following is an overview of the tasks to install and commission the Specific Gravity Meter
(SGM). These tasks must be completed before configuring and using the meter.
As part of the SGM commissioning process, you are required to perform an onsite
calibration of the meter. Onsite meter calibration requires calibration gases and additional
hardware to calibrate the meter. See the configuration and use manual for more
information on planning the SGM commissioning. The configuration and use manual
provides guidance on selecting the calibration gases, as well as instruction on performing
an onsite calibration.
Process Reference
Confirm you have all parts necessary and meet the basic installa-
tion requirements.
See Section 1.2
Consider the installation best practices for the meter. See Section 1.3
Mount the meter. See Section 2.1
Connect the gas bypass lines to the meter. See Section 2.2
Wire the meter according to the recommended practices for
your process environment and required approvals.
See Chapter 3
Select the control pressure for the meter. See Micro Motion Specific Gravi‐
ty Meters (SGM): Configuration
and Use Manual
Purge cycle the meter.
Calibrate the meter.
1.2 Installation checklist
□Verify the contents of the product shipment to confirm that you have all parts and
information necessary for the installation.

□Make sure that all electrical safety requirements are met for the environment in
which the meter will be installed.
□Make sure that the local ambient and process temperatures and process pressure
are within the limits of the meter.
□Make sure that the hazardous area specified on the approval tag is suitable for the
environment in which the meter will be installed.
□If installing the meter in a hazardous area, confirm that you have the required safety
barriers or galvanic isolators for your installation.
□Make sure that you will have adequate access to the meter for verification and
maintenance.
□Make sure that the process gas meets the recommended characteristics regarding
composition, temperature, and pressure for your installation.
□Verify that you have all equipment necessary for your installation. Depending on
your application, you may be required to install additional parts for optimal
performance of the meter.
□Follow recommended best practices for installing the SGM.
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.
•Ensure that the process gas is clean and dry.
•Do not use gases incompatible with the materials of construction. To prevent
corrosion of the sensing element, the process gas should be compatible with
Ni-Span-C.
•Do not expose the meter to excessive vibration (greater than 0.5 g continuously).
Vibration levels in excess of 0.5 g can affect the meter accuracy.
•Do not operate the meter above its rated pressure or process temperature.
Planning

•Install an external coalescing filter in the sample gas inlet pipework to minimize
condensate and dust contamination.
•Verify that the filters in your system are not causing any excessive flow restrictions.
•Installing the meter in a weather-proof enclosure thermally insulates the meter to
maintain temperature equilibrium between the sample and pipeline gases.
•Ensure good ventilation around the meter and/or enclosure to prevent gas build-up
in the unlikely event of a leak.
•Ensure meter is not transported when it contains hazardous substances, including
fluids that may have leaked into and are still contained within the case.
1.4 Recommended installation for specific gravity
applications
To ensure optimum performance of the meter, Micro Motion recommends that you install
the meter inside an enclosure that is mounted to a wall. The following diagram illustrates
the recommended installation of the SGM.

Note
•To ensure that you do not operate the meter above its rated pressure, you must install a pressure regulator between the
gas line and the meter.
•For ATEX installations, you are required to install a coalescing filter and element (as supplied).
1.5 Power requirements
Following are the DC power requirements to operate the meter:
•24 VDC, 0.45 W maximum
•Minimum 22.8 VDC with 1000 m (3280 ft) of 0.20 mm2 (18 AWG) power-supply
