2.6.5 Remote Mounting
The standard XMT1000 enclosure is a powder-coated, aluminum, IP67 explosion-proof enclosure. Typically, the
enclosure is mounted as close as possible to the transducers. When choosing a site for a remote-mount installation,
which is recommended for process temperatures exceeding 150°C, make sure the location permits easy access to
the enclosure for programming, maintenance and service.
2.6.6 Cable Lengths
Locate the XMT1000 as close as possible to the transducers. The maximum distance from the transducers for remote
mounting of the XMT1000 is 1000 ft (300 m) using coaxial cable for the PanaFlow HT, PanaFlow LZ, and PanaFlow LC
systems. For the PanaFlow Z3, the maximum distance is 100 feet. If longer distances are required, consult the factory
for assistance.
2.6.7 Transducer Cables
When installing the transducer cables, always observe established standard practices for the installation of electrical
cables. Do not route transducer cables alongside high amperage AC power lines or any other cables that could
cause electrical interference. Also, protect the transducer cables and connections from the weather and corrosive
atmospheres, and be sure to follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines if cable glands are provided.
CAUTION! Local mounting of the XMT1000 meter is not permitted for vertical pipes.
CAUTION! Remote mounting of the XMT1000 meter is always required with vertical pipes. For
vertical pipes, the fluid flow is / must be upwards as the measurement method requires
the pipe to be full.
Attention European Customers!For compliance with the European Union’s Low Voltage Directive, this
unit requires an external power disconnect device such as a switch or circuit breaker. The disconnect
device must be marked as such, clearly visible, directly accessible, and located within
1.8 m (6 ft) of the unit.
