3.2.1 Installation options
Sensor wiring depends on the installation configuration:
•4-wire remote transmitter (requires a 4-wire cable; see Figure 1-3 and Wiring
instructions for 4-wire remote installations)
•Remote core processor with remote transmitter (requires both a 4-wire and a 9-wire
cable; see Figure 1-4 and Wiring instructions for remote core processor with remote
transmitter installations)
3.2.2 Wiring instructions for 4-wire remote installations
1. Prepare the cable as described in the sensor documentation.
2. Connect the cable to the core processor as described in the sensor documentation.
3. To connect the cable to the transmitter:
a. Identify the wires in the 4-wire cable.
Use the 4-wire cable supplied by Micro Motion. This cable consists of one pair of 18
AWG (0,75 mm2) wires (red and black) for the VDC connection, and one pair of 22
AWG (0,35 mm2) wire (green and white) for the RS-485 connection.
b. Connect the four wires from the core processor to the appropriate terminals on the
transmitter.
See Table 3-2 and Figure 3-2 (standard core processor) or Figure 3-3 (enhanced core
processor).
•Do not leave bare wires exposed.
•Do not ground the shield, braid, or drain wires at the transmitter.

Wiring
To wire the remote core processor to the transmitter:
1. Use one of the following methods to shield the wiring.
2. Do one of the following:
•If you are using shielded cable, prepare the cable and apply shielded heat shrink
as described in Step 6. 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. Go to Step 3.
•If you are using armored cable, prepare the cable as described in Step 6, but do
not apply heat shrink – omit Steps 6d, e, f, and g. Go to Step 3.
3. Identify the components shown in Figure 2-1.
4. Remove the core processor lid.
5. Slide the gland nut and the clamping insert over the cable. See Figure 3-4.
Installation method Procedure
Unshielded wiring in continuous metallic conduit that provides 360°
termination shielding for the enclosed wiring Go to Step 8
A 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
Go to Step 8
A Micro Motion-supplied cable gland at the core processor housing Go to Step 2

Wiring
Figure 3-4: Gland nut and clamping insert
6. For connection at the core processor housing, prepare shielded cable as follows (for
armored cable, omit steps d, e, f, 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 wires around the exposed foil twice. Cut off the excess wire.
Figure 3-5: Shield drain wires wrapped twice around exposed shield foil
e. Place the shielded heat shrink over the exposed shield drain wires. The tubing
should completely cover the drain wires.
f. Without burning the cable, apply heat (250 °F or 120 °C) to shrink the tubing. See
Figure 3-6.

i. Install the gland body into the core processor housing conduit opening. See Figure
3-8.
Figure 3-8: Installing the gland body
7. Insert the wires through the gland body and assemble the gland by tightening the
gland nut.
8. Identify the wires in the 4-wire cable.
Use the 4-wire cable supplied by Micro Motion. This cable consists of one pair of 18
AWG (0,75 mm2) wires (red and black) for the VDC connection, and one pair of 22
AWG (0,35 mm2) wires (green and white) for the RS-485 connection.
9. Connect the four wires to the numbered slots on the core processor. Figure 3-9.

Installation Manual 19
Wiring
Figure 3-9: Connect the four wires to the numbered slots
10. Connect the core processor housing internal ground screw if earth ground is required.
Earth ground is required if the core processor cannot be grounded via sensor piping,
and local codes require internal ground connections.
Do not connect shield drain wires to this terminal.
11. Reinstall and tighten the core processor lid.
12. To connect the cable to the transmitter, connect the four wires from the core
processor to the appropriate terminals on the transmitter.
See Table 3-2 and Figure 3-2.
•Do not leave bare wires exposed.
•Do not ground the shield, braid, or drain wires at the transmitter.
3.3 Wire the sensor to the remote core processor
1. Refer to Micro Motion’s 9-Wire Flowmeter Cable Preparation and Installation Guide for
instructions on cable shielding and preparation:
•At the sensor end, follow the instructions for your cable type.
•At the core processor end, follow the instructions for your cable type with an MVD
transmitter.
2. To connect the wires, refer to Micro Motion’s 9-Wire Flowmeter Cable Preparation and
Installation Guide and follow the instructions for your sensor with an MVD transmitter.
WARNING!
Do not twist the core processor, as this will damage the sensor.
CAUTION!
Do not allow the shield drain wires to contact the sensor junction box, as this can cause meter
errors.

Additional information for connecting the wires at the core processor is provided
below:
a. Identify the components shown in Figure 2-1.
b. Remove the core processor’s end-cap.
c. Insert the 9-wire cable through the conduit opening.
d. Connect the wires to the plugs supplied with the core processor.
e. Insert the plugs into the sockets inside the lower conduit ring. See Figure 3-10.
Figure 3-10: 9-wire cable between sensor and core processor
3. Ground the cable.
4. Ensure integrity of gaskets, grease all O-rings, then close the junction box housing and
core processor end-cap, and tighten all screws.
Cable type Procedure
Jacketed cable Ground the shield drain wires (the black wire) only on the core
processor end, by connecting it to the ground screw inside the
lower conduit ring. Do not ground to the core processor’s
mounting screw. Do not ground the cable at the sensor junction
box.
Shielded or armored cable Ground the shield drain wires (the black wire) only on the core
processor end, by connecting it to the ground screw inside the
lower conduit ring. Do not ground to the core processor’s
mounting screw. Do not ground the cable at the sensor junction
box.
Ground the cable braid on both ends, by terminating it inside the
cable glands.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the wires are not caught or pinched when you close the housing to reduce the risk of
measurement error or meter failure.
