METER INSTALLATION PLANS and EXECUTION
Plan meter layout, location and installation. During
installation, remember these important points:
1. Heed all safety notifi cations.
2. Select a detector location with room for installation and
maintenance procedures.
3. Use proper lifting, rigging, moving and procedures for
large units.
4. Consider the meter environment; particularly ambient and
process fl ow temperatures.
5. Consider the process pipeline (vibrations) and its fl ow
characteristics (valve and pump locations).
6. Meter orientation to the pipeline (vertical or horizontal).
7. Straight pipe requirements.
8. Pipe reducer requirements.
9. Special applications and/or situations.
For Remote Mount Units consider:
1. Amplifi
er location.
2. Remote amplifi er mounting bracket.
3. Proper conduit and conduit fi ttings.
4. Wiring and conduit locations.
REMOTE MOUNT AMPLIFIER
NOTE: Screws are supplied to attach the remote mount
bracket to the amplifi er. Screws are not supplied to attach
bracket at mounting location.
Remote Mount Amplifi er Location Requirements:
1. A sturdy and safe mounting surface capable of holding
the amplifi er weight (20 pounds, 9 Kg).
2. Within the allowable temperature range: -4°F to 122°F,
(-20°C to 50°C).
3. Access to amplifi er covers, ports, terminals, screen and
adjustments.
4. As close to the detector as possible.
5. Determine length and route of cable/conduit runs.
Mount Bracket to Amplifi er
1. Align bracket-mounting holes with amplifi er mounting holes.
2. Attach bracket to amplifi er with supplied screws. Torque
screws to 80 in. lb.

Mount Bracket/Amplifi er to Location
1. Position the bracket/amplifi er in the desired orientation.
2. Secure bracket/amplifi er to location.
REMOTE MOUNT AMPLIFIER/DETECTOR WIRING
Remote Mount Amplifi er
The remote mount amplifi er has three chambers and fi ve
wire ports. The Junction Box and Connections Chambers
and wiring ports provide amplifi er openings for wire, conduit,
tool and hand access to amplifi er terminal blocks. Detector
to amplifi er wires connect in the Junction Box Chamber.
Amplifi er AC power and customer signal wires attach in the
Connections Chamber.
The Display/Programming Chamber provides access to
fuses and circuit boards. They are discussed later.
(Refer to the Remote Mount Wiring Diagram on page 11.)
Detector Junction Box
The Detector Junction Box has one chamber and two wire
ports. The Junction Box, Chamber and wiring ports provide
openings for wire, conduit, tool and hand access to terminal
blocks. Detector to remote mount amplifi er electrode and
coil wires connect to the detector through the chamber wire
ports.
· Suitably trained personnel shall perform all
installation or repair procedures.
· Disconnect power to the unit before attempting any
installation or maintenance.
· Do not bundle or route signal wires with power wires.
· Use proper conduit, connections and supplied
cables in all wiring procedures.
· Observe all local applicable electrical codes when
wiring any equipment.
