Installation
Mounting
Mount the meter body in the process flow line as described earlier in this section (see
“Vertical installation” on page 25). Mount the bracket and electronics housing in the
desired location. The housing can be repositioned on the bracket to facilitate field wiring
and conduit routing.
Cable connections
Refer to the following instructions and Figure 3-15 to connect the loose end of the coaxial
cable to the electronics housing.
1. If you plan to run the coaxial cable in conduit, carefully cut the conduit to the
desired length to provide for proper assembly at the housing. A junction box may
be placed in the conduit run to provide a space for extra coaxial cable length.
2. Slide the conduit adapter or cable gland over the loose end of the coaxial cable and
fasten it to the adapter on the meter body support tube. Refer to Figure 3-15.
3. If using conduit, route the coaxial cable through the conduit.
4. Place a conduit adapter or cable gland over the end of the coaxial cable.
5. Remove the housing adapter from the electronics housing.
6. Slide the housing adapter over the coaxial cable.
7. Remove one of the four housing base screws.
8. Attach and securely tighten the coaxial cable nut to the connection on the
electronics housing.
9. Attach the coaxial cable ground connection round lug to the housing via the
housing base ground screw. Use the 1
1
/2-inch screw to go through the round lug
and attach to the housing base.
10. Align the housing adapter with the housing and attach with three screws.
11. Tighten the conduit adapter or cable gland to the housing adapter.
To prevent moisture from entering the coaxial cable connections, install the
interconnecting coaxial cable in a single dedicated conduit run and use sealed cable
glands at both ends of the cable.
