3.2 SITE SELECTION
Careful attention to the site selection for the system components will help the installers with the
initial installation, reduce start-up problems and make future maintenance easier. For example,
do not install the meter where it will be difficult for personnel to perform periodic maintenance.
When selecting a site for mounting the system components, consider the criteria under Section
1.8 WORKING ENVIRONMENT, as well as the following:
The Wall-Mount Enclosure
Find an easily accessible location where wire connections can be made and meter readings can
be taken from floor level. Mount the enclosure on a vibration-free surface. Avoid sites such as
the plenum of a fan coil, heat exchanger, or other housings containing motors. Avoid mounting
the enclosure in close proximity to VFD’s, electric motors or other strong sources of electrical
interference.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The maximum allowable distance between the wall-mount enclosure and the transducers installed
on the pipe is 300 feet.
