IV. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
- Ifuidispronetosediment,consideraddingatrapstrainertothesystem-arrangingthestrainersoit
can be easily cleaned. See Figure 11 as an example.
- In gravity-pressure installations, set the meter to take advantage of all possible pressure head.
- In pump-pressure installations, set the meter on the discharge side of the pump.
- If the line must be kept in continuous service, install a bypass around the meter and strainer valves being
installed or replaced.
CAUTION: THE METER IS NOT BI-DIRECTIONAL AND MUST BE POSITIONED IN THE PROPER
ORIENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE MATERIAL FLOW. THE DIRECTION OF FLOW TO/FROM
EACH FITTING ON THE METER IS SHOWN ON THE METER HOUSING BY THE WORDS “IN” AND
“OUT” OR BY AN ARROW. FLOW IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION WILL CAUSE THE TOTALIZER TO
SUBTRACT FROM THE TOTAL.
NUTATING DISC OR OSCILLATING PISTON INSTALLATION
1. Drain system, if in use.
2. Determine where the meter will be installed within the
current system.
3. Cut the pipe.
4. Connect meter couplings.
5. Flush line thoroughly with liquid to remove pipe
cuttings, chips, etc.
6. The meter must be mounted with the transmitter
housing extending vertically out of the meter. The
transmitter can be rotated one full revolution on the pipe extension.
CAUTION: ROTATING THE TRANSMITTER BEYOND ONE REVOLUTION CAN DAMAGE THE
INTERNAL WIRING OF THE UNIT.
7. Tighten meter into place.
8. Purge air from the line.
9. (Re)Fill system slowly to ensure no air is in the line. Meter is ready to take readings. Pipe must remain
fullyoodedatalltimesinorderforthemetertotakeaccuratereadings;avoidpassingairorvapor
through the meter.
WARNING: USE THE METER ONLY WITH THE LIQUID FOR WHICH IT WAS ORDERED AND WITHIN
THE SPECIFIED LIMITS OF PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE AND FLOW RATE.

NOTE: To help keep air out, do not let the meter drain between periods of usage. Trap the meter in a depression
inthepipelineifnecessary.Keepsuctionlinesandpumpstufngboxestight.Ifaircannotbekeptoutofaline
handling light oils or solvents, use an air release value between the pump and meter.
NOTE: The meter must be operated within its proper capacity range; it can be operated at the full rated capacity
without damage.
REMOTE ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION
1. Determine and clean location of remote enclosure; space should be at least 7.5 inches wide by 9 inches
high (19.05 x 22.86 cm). See Dimensional Drawings section for detailed diagrams.
2. Screw tabs into the back of the enclosure, using screws provided – turning them to the desired angle.
3. Mark hole location on mounting location.
4. Depending on material of mounting location, pre-drill holes.
5. Hold enclosure and screw into mounting location, using screws provided by user.

V. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
INTEGRAL TRANSMITTER
For meters with integral transmitter mounting, remove the rear enclosure cover to access the 4-20 mA loop
connections. Connect the positive wire of the power source to the terminal block pin marked (+) and the negative
(return) wire of the DC source to the terminal block pin marked (-). See Figure 13. Integral Transmitter Wiring.
Figure 13. Integral Transmitter Wiring
Analog instruments used to monitor the 4-20 mA loop, see Figure 13. Integral Transmitter Wiring, may have an
internal sense resistor, or require a sense resistor to be placed in the loop with the instrument then connected
across it. Since the SmartPD operates from a DC supply of 24 ± 10% volts, the total loop resistance allowed
(sum value of all sense resistors) is limited.
Use the following formula to calculate the minimum power supply voltage required for the given total loop
resistance. Make sure that the applied loop voltage range is within the recomm ended 24 ± 10% VDC:
 • TheMinimumPowerSupplyVoltage=12+(0.020xRs),whereRsisthetotalloopresistance.
 • Example: Assuming the internal sense resistor of the analog instrument is 500 Ohms, then Minimum
 PowerSupplyVoltage(MPSV)forproperoperationofthetransmitteris:MPSV=12+(0.020x500)=22VDC
The graph below shows the relationship between power supply voltage and total loop resistance.

REMOTE TRANSMITTER
For remote mounted transmitters, remove the covers on the meter and the transmitter enclosure to access the
terminal strips. Use a low capacitance, 4-conductor shielded cable (Belden 8102 or equivalent) to connect the
junction box terminal strip to pins 1-4 of the remote electronics terminal strip. Connect the cable shield to pin 12
of the remote electronics terminal strip. Connect external loop power to pins 10 & 11 of the remote electronics
terminal strip.

HART COMMUNICATION
The SmartPD can be accessed using a variety of HART compliant devices.
See Figure 16. HART Wiring. (HART Protocols are available; please see HART Protocol Guide.)
The received value for the HART current sense resistor is 500 Ohms as shown in Figure 16. To determine the
minimum supply voltage, refer to the Minimum Power Supply equation. Remember that the value of the HART
current sense resistor must be included in the total loop resistance.
