1.1 Introduction
To ensure safe and reliable operation of the Model XGM868i Ultrasonic Flow Transmitter, the system must be installed
in accordance with the guidelines established by GE engineers. Those guidelines, which are explained in detail in this
chapter, include the following specific topics:
• Unpacking the Model XGM868i system
• Selecting suitable sites for the electronics enclosure and the flowcell/transducers
• Installing the flowcell/transducers
Note: See the enclosed Transducer Installation Guide for detailed instructions on transducer installation.
• Installing optional temperature and pressure transmitters
• Installing the electronics enclosure
• Wiring the electronics enclosure
WARNING! The Model XGM868i flow transmitter can measure the flow rate of many gases, some of which
are potentially hazardous. In such cases, the importance of proper safety practices cannot be
overemphasized.
Be sure to follow all applicable local safety codes and regulations for installing electrical
equipment and working with hazardous gases or flow conditions. Consult company safety
personnel or local safety authorities to verify the safety of any procedure or practice.
