Environmental Compliance
RoHS
The PanaFlow™ XMT1000 fully complies with RoHS regulations (Directive 2011/65/EU).
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
GE is an active participant in Europe’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) take-back initiative
(Directive 2012/19/EU).
The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may
contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural
resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the
materials of your end life equipment in a sound way.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems.

1.2 CE Marking Compliance
For CE Marking compliance or installation in high noise areas, the XMT1000 flow transmitter must be wired in
accordance with the instructions in this section.
IMPORTANT: CE Marking compliance is required for all units intended for use in EU countries.
The XMT1000 must be wired with the recommended cable, and all connections must be properly shielded and
grounded. Grounding of the chassis must be within 10 ft (3 m) of the transmitter. Refer to Table 1 below for the specific
requirements.
Note: If the XMT1000 is wired as described above, the unit will comply with the EMC and LVD Directives.
WARNING! The XMT1000 flow transmitter can measure the flow rate of many fluids, some of which
are potentially hazardous. The importance of proper safety practices cannot be overemphasized.
Be sure to follow all applicable local safety codes and regulations for installing electrical equipment
and working with hazardous fluids or flow conditions. Consult company safety personnel or local
safety authorities to verify the safety of any procedure or practice.
Attention European Customers! To meet CE Marking requirements, all cables must be installed as
described in “CE Marking Compliance” on page 1.

1.3 Unpacking the XMT1000
Before removing the XMT1000 from its box, please inspect both the box and the instrument carefully. Each instrument
manufactured by GE is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Before discarding any of the
packing materials, account for all components and documentation listed on the packing slip. The discarding of an
important item along with the packing materials is all too common. If anything is missing or damaged, contact GE
Customer Care immediately for assistance.
The XMT1000 is supplied with both a serial number label and a certification label for identification of the instrument
(see Figure 1 below and Figure 2 on page 3). The system can be mounted either on an existing meter body (local
mounting) or at another location via a connecting cable (remote mounting).

1.4 Site and Clearance Considerations
1.4.1 Access to the Meter
Because the relative location of the flowcell and the XMT1000 transmitter is important, use the guidelines in this
section to plan the XMT1000 installation.
For flowcell clearance recommendations, consult the manual for your specific flow meter system or contact GE for
assistance. Access to the XMT1000 flow transmitter should be uninhibited, as defined by the minimum clearance
distances around the enclosure specified in Figure 3 on page 4.

1.4.2 Vibration Exposure Considerations
Whenever possible, install the XMT1000 flow transmitter in a location isolated from vibrations. Avoid installing it near
equipment that generates low-frequency, high-energy random vibrations.
1.4.3 Sunlight Exposure
The installer should consider and limit exposure of the XMT1000 flow transmitter to direct sunlight. Sunshades should
be utilized in extreme environments.

1.4.4 Local Mounting
The XMT1000 accuracy is affected by the flowcell location in the process piping and on the orientation of the
transducers. Thus, in addition to accessibility for maintenance, adhere to the following installation guidelines:
•Locate the flowcell so that there are at least 10 pipe diameters of straight, undisturbed flow upstream and
5 pipe diameters of straight, undisturbed flow downstream from the measurement point (see Figure 4 below).
Undisturbed flow means avoiding sources of turbulence in the fluid (e.g., valves, flanges, expansions, elbows,
etc.), avoiding swirl, and avoiding cavitation.
Figure 4: Minimum Straight Run Pipe Requirements
•Locate the transducers on a common axial plane along the pipe. Also, locate them on the side of the pipe
instead of on the top or the bottom, because the top of the pipe tends to accumulate gas and the bottom tends to
accumulate sediment. Either condition will cause unwanted attenuation of the ultrasonic signals. There is no
similar restriction with vertical pipes, as long as the fluid flow is upward to prevent free falling of the fluid or a
less than full pipe (see Figure 5 below).
Figure 5: Good and Bad Flowcell/Transducer Orientations
CAUTION! Do not place thermal insulation on or around the transducers, the junction boxes, or the
meter electronics. The transducer and junction box act as a heat sink that protects the transducer
from high and low temperatures.

1.4.5 Remote Mounting
The standard XMT1000 enclosure is a powder-coated, aluminum, IP67 explosion-proof enclosure. Typically, the
enclosure is mounted as close as possible to the transducers. When choosing a site for a remote-mount installation,
which is recommended for process temperatures exceeding 150°C, make sure the location permits easy access to the
enclosure for programming, maintenance and service.
1.4.6 Cable Lengths
Locate the XMT1000 as close as possible to the transducers. The maximum distance from the transducers for remote
mounting of the XMT1000 is 1000 ft (300 m) using RG-62 coaxial cable or equivalent. If longer distances are required,
consult the factory for assistance.
1.4.7 Transducer Cables
When installing the transducer cables, always observe established standard practices for the installation of electrical
cables. Do not route transducer cables alongside high amperage AC power lines or any other cables that could cause
electrical interference. Also, protect the transducer cables and connections from the weather and corrosive
atmospheres, and be sure to follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines if cable glands are provided.
Attention European Customers! For compliance with the European Union’s Low Voltage Directive,
this unit requires an external power disconnect device such as a switch or circuit breaker. The
disconnect device must be marked as such, clearly visible, directly accessible, and located within
1.8 m (6 ft) of the unit.

5. Note the labels inside the rear cover to assist in wiring the power and option connections.
•Wiring any option set requires completion of the following general steps:
1. Disconnect the main power from the unit and remove the wiring cover.
2. Install a cable gland in the chosen conduit hole on the side of the electronics enclosure and feed a standard
26-12 AWG twisted-pair cable through this conduit hole.
3. Locate the Standard I/O or Analog I/O options terminal block and wire the option as indicated on the label
inside the wiring cover. Secure the cable gland.
4. If wiring of the unit has been completed, reinstall the wiring cover on the enclosure and tighten the set screw.
For specific instructions on wiring a particular output configuration, proceed to the appropriate sub-section.
WARNING! Always disconnect the line power from the XMT1000 before removing either the front
cover or the rear cover. This is especially important in a hazardous environment.
Attention European Customers! To meet CE Marking requirements, all cables must be installed as
described in “CE Marking Compliance” on page 1.
WARNING! Proper grounding of the XMT1000 enclosure via the external grounding screw on the
enclosure (see Figure 6 on page 8) is required to prevent the possibility of electric shock. All ground
screws should be hand tightened only, to a maximum allowable torque of 2.5 N-m (22 in-lb).
