2.1.2 Orientation and mounting
Orient the transmitter so wiring compartments and conduit openings are easily accessible.
• To rotate the transmitter on the sensor manifold or the mounting bracket, use the four supplied
mounting bolt assemblies. Each bolt assembly includes one M8 bolt, one lock washer, and one
flat washer. Remove the bolt assemblies, rotate the transmitter, then reinstall the bolt
assemblies to 12 ft-lb (16 N-m) of torque.
• If the transmitter will be integrally mounted to a Micro Motion F-Series sensor, see the sensor
product data sheet for transmitter and sensor dimensions, and see the instruction manual that
was shipped with the sensor for information about flowmeter mounting and location.
• If the transmitter will be remotely mounted, use the supplied bolt assemblies to attach the
transmitter to the mounting bracket. Attach the bracket to a rigid, stable surface or instrument
pole that will not transfer excessive vibration into the transmitter. See Chapter 3 for more
information about remote mounting.
2.1.3 Temperature, humidity, and vibration
Install the transmitter according to specified limits:
• Ambient temperature
- without optional LCD: –22 to +131 °F (–30 to +55 °C)
