Installation manual

Sensor Installation: F-Series 11
Determining a Location
Step 1 Determining a Location
Choose a location for the sensor based on the requirements described in this section. The following general
guidelines can help you select an appropriate location for the sensor.
• You should be able to stop flow through the sensor to facilitate the zeroing procedure.
• For optimal performance, the sensor should remain full of process fluid.
• The sensor must be installed in an area that is compatible with the classification specified on the
approval tag (see Figures 1–7).
Hazardous area installations
Make sure the hazardous area specified on the sensor approval tag is suitable for the environment in which the
sensor is installed. (See Figures 1–7.) For installation in an area that requires intrinsic safety, refer to the
appropriate Micro Motion approval documentation, shipped with the sensor or available from the Micro
Motion web site at www.micromotion.com.
WARNING
Failure to comply with requirements for intrinsic safety in a hazardous area
could result in an explosion.
• Make sure the hazardous area specified on the sensor approval tag (Figures 1–7)
is suitable for the environment in which the sensor will be installed.
• For installations in an area that requires intrinsic safety, use this document along
with Micro Motion approval documentation, shipped with the sensor or available on
the Micro Motion web site at www.micromotion.com.
• For hazardous installations in Europe, refer to standard EN 60079-14 if national
standards do not apply.
