3.1.1 Mount the transmitter to a wall
Prerequisites
• Micro Motion recommends the use of 5/16-18 (8 mm–1.25) fasteners that can
withstand the process environment. Micro Motion does not supply bolts or nuts as
part of the standard offering (general purpose bolts and nuts are available as an
option).
• Ensure that the surface is flat and rigid, does not vibrate, or move excessively.
• Confirm that you have the necessary tools, and the mounting kit shipped with the
transmitter.
Procedure
1. If desired, re-orient the transmitter on the mounting bracket.
a. Remove the junction end-cap from the junction housing.
b. Loosen each of the four cap screws (4 mm).
c. Rotate the bracket so that the transmitter is oriented as desired.
d. Tighten the cap screws, torquing to 30 to 38 in-lbs (3 to 4 N-m).
e. Replace the junction end-cap.
