7. Reattach the core processor housing.
8. Shield and shield drain wire(s) should not be grounded at the 
transmitter. 
• For wiring at the transmitter, see the transmitter Quick Reference 
Guide (QRG).
• If you are connecting to an MVDSolo with MVD Direct Connect
™
 I.S. 
barrier supplied by Micro Motion, the barrier supplies power to the 
core processor. Refer to the barrier documentation to identify the 
terminals at the barrier. 
• If you are connecting to an MVDSolo without I.S. barrier:
- Connect the VDC wires from the core processor (see figure on 
page 36) to an independent power supply. This power supply must 
connect only to the core processor. A recommended power supply 
is the SDN series of 24-VDC power supplies manufactured by 
Sola/Hevi-Duty. 
- Do not ground either connection of the power supply. 
- Connect the RS-485 wires from the core processor (see figure 
below) to the RS-485 terminals at the remote host. Refer to the 
vendor documentation to identify the terminals.
WARNING
Twisting the core processor will damage the sensor.
Do not twist the core processor.
