Topics covered in this chapter:
• Mounting options
• Prepare the 4-wire cable
• Wire the transmitter to the sensor

• Ground the flowmeter components
3.1 Mounting options
There are two options available for mounting the transmitter:
• Mount the transmitter to a wall or flat surface.
• Mount the transmitter to an instrument pole.
3.1.1 Mount the transmitter to a wall
• Use four 5/16-inch diameter (or M8) bolts and nuts that can withstand the process
environment. Micro Motion does not supply bolts or nuts (appropriate bolts and
nuts are available as an option).
• Ensure that the surface is flat and rigid, does not vibrate, or move excessively.
1. If desired, re-orient the transmitter on the mounting bracket.
a. Remove the junction end-cap from the junction housing.
b. Loosen each of the four cap screws (4 mm).
c. Rotate the bracket so that the transmitter is oriented as desired.
