Model 1700 and 2700 Transmitters
Before You Begin
1.3 Flowmeter components
The Model 1700 or 2700 transmitter is one component in your Micro Motion flowmeter. Other major
components include:
• The sensor, which provides measurement functions
• The core processor, which provides memory and processing functions
1.4 Transmitter type, installation type, and outputs option board
To install the transmitter, you must know your transmitter type, installation type, and outputs option
board. This section provides information on obtaining this information. The codes described below
match the codes that were used to order your transmitter.
1. Obtain the transmitter's model number, which is provided on a tag attached to the side of the
transmitter.
• Model 1700 transmitters have a model number of the form
1700xxxxxxxxxx.
• Model 2700 transmitters have a model number of the form
2700xxxxxxxxxx.
2. The fifth character in the model number (
xxxxXxxxxxxxxx) represents the installation type
that was ordered:
• R = remote (4-wire remote installation)
• I = integral (transmitter mounted on sensor)
• C = transmitter/core processor assembly (9-wire remote installation)
• B = remote core processor with remote transmitter
Note: For more information on installation type, see Figure 2-1.
3. The eighth character in the model number (
xxxxxxxXxxxxxx) represents the outputs option
board.
• A = transmitter with analog outputs option board (one mA, one frequency, one RS-485)
• B = transmitter with configurable input/outputs option board, default output configuration
(two mA, one frequency)
• C = transmitter with configurable input/outputs option board, customized output
configuration
• D = transmitter with intrinsically safe analog outputs option board
• E = transmitter with intrinsically safe (FISCO compliant) F
OUNDATION fieldbus outputs
option board
• N = transmitter with non-incendive (FNICO compliant) F
OUNDATION fieldbus outputs
option board
• G = transmitter with PROFIBUS-PA outputs option board
Note: The remaining characters in the model number describe options that do not affect transmitter
installation.
The following examples illustrate use of the model number to determine transmitter type, installation
type, and output board type:
•
1700RxxAxxxxxx = Model 1700 remote transmitter with analog outputs option board
•
2700CxxDxxxxxx = Model 2700 transmitter/core processor assembly with intrinsically safe
outputs option board
