5 Mounting and sensor wiring for
remote core processor with remote
sensor installations
Topics covered in this chapter:
• Mounting options
• Mount the remote core processor
• Prepare the 4-wire cable
• Wire the transmitter to the remote core processor
• Prepare the 9-wire cable
• Wire the remote core processor to the sensor using jacketed cable
• Wire the remote core processor to the sensor using shielded or armored cable
• Rotate the user interface on the transmitter (optional)
• Ground the flowmeter components
5.1 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.
5.1.1 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.
d. Tighten the cap screws, torquing to 30 to 38 in-lbs (3 to 4 N-m).
e. Replace the junction end-cap.
