2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Inspect the shipping container. If it is damaged, contact the shipper immedi-
ately for instructions. Save the box. If there is no apparent damage, remove
the transmitter. Be sure all items shown on the packing list are present. If
items are missing, immediately notify Rosemount Analytical.
Save the shipping container and packaging. They can be reused if it is later
necessary to return the transmitter to the factory.
2.2 INSTALLATION
1. Although the transmitter is suitable for outdoor use, do not install it in
direct sunlight or in areas of extreme temperatures.
2. Install the transmitter in an area where vibrations and electromagnetic
and radio frequency interference are minimized or absent.
3. Keep the transmitter and sensor wiring at least one
foot from high voltage conductors. Be sure there is
easy access to the transmitter.
4. The transmitter is suitable for panel (Figure 2-3), pipe
(Figure 2-4), or surface (Figure 2-5) mounting.
5. The transmitter case has two 1/2-inch (PG13.5) con-
duit openings and either three or four 1/2-inch knock-
outs. The panel mount XMT-C-HT has four knockouts.
The pipe/surface mount transmitter has three knock-
outs*. One conduit opening is for the power/output
cable; the other opening is for the sensor cable.
Figure 1 shows how to remove a knockout. The knock-
out grooves are on the outside of the case. Place the
screwdriver blade on the inside of the case and align it
approximately along the groove. Rap the screwdriver
sharply with a hammer until the groove cracks. Move
the screwdriver to an uncracked portion of the groove
and continue the process until the knockout falls out.
Use a small knife to remove the flash from the inside
of the hole.
6. Use weathertight cable glands to keep moisture out to
the transmitter. If conduit is used, plug and seal the
connections at the transmitter housing to prevent
moisture from getting inside the instrument.
7. To reduce the likelihood of stress on wiring connec-
tions, do not remove the hinged front panel (-11 mod-
els) from the base during wiring installation. Allow suf-
ficient wire leads to avoid stress on conductors.
*NEMA plug may be supplied instead of knockout for
pipe/surface version.
