manufacturer's instructions. Where the cable glands are provided by BH, the manufacturer's instructions, as
supplied to BH, will be included in the documentation.
• The system is covered by the certificate numbers as shown on the labels on the following pages. The system
temperature code is dependent upon the maximum process fluid temperature range.
• Unused entries must be sealed using a suitably certified threaded plug. Teflon tape or other sealing compounds
are required when installing NPT threads.
• Modifications to the flameproof enclosure are not permitted.
• The apparatus should be de-energized before opening.
• Installation shall be in accordance with the installation instructions and the National Electrical Code® ANSI/NFPA

• The product contains no exposed parts which produce surface temperature, infrared, electromagnetic ionizing,
or non-electrical dangers.
• The product must not be subjected to mechanical or thermal stresses in excess of those permitted in the
certification documentation and the instruction manual.
• The product cannot be repaired by the user; it must be replaced by an equivalent certified product. Repairs
should only be carried out by the manufacturer or by an approved repairer.
• Only trained, competent personnel may install, operate, and maintain the equipment.

during operation.
• For local mount configuration, the maximum process temperature shall be 95°C for meters with Hart or
Foundation Fieldbus and IO Cards present. For meters with only Hart or Foundation Fieldbus and no IO Card
present, maximum process temperature shall be 150°C. Maximum ambient temperature for local mount shall be
60°C for meters with Foundation Fieldbus and 65°C for all other configurations.
• Refer to this User Manual BH054C11 for detailed instructions for installation, operation, maintenance and service.
2.4 Special Conditions for Safe Use
• Contact the manufacturer if dimensional information of flameproof joints is needed.
• Field connections to the XMT1000 (e.g. ultrasonic transducers, accessories, or similar peripherals) shall be
appropriately certified for the location and installed in accordance with wiring method requirements of the local
electrical code as applicable.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions to reduce the potential of an electrostatic charging hazard.
• It is end-user's responsibility to ensure that the ambient around the equipment does not exceed the permitted
ambient of +60°C/+65°C.
• Only approved certified entry devices shall be used.
• The end user must ensure that any cable and cable entry devices used with the equipment are suitable for use
at temperatures above 90°C.
• The end user is to ensure appropriate earthing upon installation.
• The temperature code rating of the PanaFlow™ PF10 Ultrasonic Liquid Flow Meter local mount and remote mount
is dependent on the maximum process temperature.
