2000 microEFM

Mounting Options

The Scanner 2000 microEFM can be mounted using the following methods:

• Direct-mount to an orice or cone type DP meter. The integral multi-variable sensor may be connected

to the pressure taps with stabilizers or a heavy wall nipple with adapter anges, and a 5-valve manifold

(Figure 2.1, page 31). A bottom-port MVT is recommended for gas measurement; a side-mount MVT is

recommended for liquid or steam measurement.

• Direct-mount to a turbine meter. The CSA-certied instrument can be mounted to a turbine meter using a

pipe adapter and union connection (Figure 2.2, page 31). The ATEX-certied instrument can be mounted to

a Barton 7000 Series meter using a turbine meter pickup extension (Figure 2.3, page 32).

• Pole-mount. The instrument can be mounted on a 2-in. pole using a NuFlo hardware kit, or bulkhead-

mounted to a at, vertical surface (Figure 2.4, page 32). Pole mounting may be preferred where limited

space or pipe vibration prohibits direct-mount installation. A horizontal pipe mount is recommended for

liquid and steam installations using a side-port MVT and block manifold. Tubing is used to connect the

integral MVT to the orice meter or cone meter. If a Scanner 2000 will be used for steam measurement, a

condensate pot must also be installed to protect the Scanner 2000 from extreme temperatures. See Mea-

suring Steam via a Differential Pressure Meter, page 42, for details.

The following accessories are also recommended:

• a 5-valve manifold for connecting process lines to the integral MVT

• an RTD assembly for process temperature input on gas ow runs and compensated liquid ow runs (not

recommended for steam ow runs). See Hazardous Area Installations, page 27, for a description of RTD

options to meet specic hazardous area requirements.

• tubing and/or pipe for plumbing process connections

• explosion-proof signal cable for remote turbine connections (stranded, shielded cable is recommended)

• terminal housing for expanding the number of inputs/outputs that can be connected to the Scanner 2000

Pole-Mount Installation

To mount the Scanner 2000 using the optional pole-mount kit, perform the following steps:

1. Determine the pipe orientation (horizontal or vertical) that will best accommodate process connections

and eld wiring connections. A horizontal pipe mount is recommended for liquid and steam installations

using a side-port MVT and block manifold.

2. Connect the mounting bracket to the Scanner 2000 using the two bolts provided (Figure 2.4, page 32).

3. Position the U-bolt around the pipe and through the support bracket provided with the U-bolt.

4. Align the mounting bracket against the pole so that the U-bolt passes through the mounting holes in the

bracket. Place the mounting plate over the threaded ends of the U-bolt and against the bracket, and secure

the U-bolt with the two nuts provided.

5. Install and connect process piping between the Scanner 2000 and the turbine meter with appropriate t-

tings. Process piping installation procedures vary with each application.
