Ground the flowmeter components
In 4-wire remote installations, the transmitter and sensor are grounded separately.
CAUTION!
Improper grounding could cause inaccurate measurements or flow meter failure. Failure to
comply with requirements for intrinsic safety in a hazardous area could result in an explosion.
Note
For hazardous area installations in Europe, refer to standard EN 60079-14 or national standards.
If national standards are not in effect, adhere to the following guidelines for grounding:
•
Use copper wire, 14 AWG (2.5 mm
2
) or larger wire size.
•
Keep all ground leads as short as possible, less than 1
Ω impedance.
•
Connect ground leads directly to earth, or follow plant standards.
