3. Mechanical Installation
3.1 General Requirements
Installation of this product should only be carried out by suitably qualified/trained personnel
with an understanding of local regulations regarding electrical installations, and if relevant
Hazardous Area electrical installations.
It is recommended that the instrument is installed in a location where it is shielded from
extreme varying weather conditions, and from chances of physical impact. Never install the
instrument in an area which will expose it to temperatures outside its specified operating
temperature range.
3.2 Conduit Entries
Each instrument is equipped with three conduit entries which are factory sealed to maintain
the IP rating of the enclosure. To gain access to a conduit entry the integral moulded plug must
be broken out of the electrical entry. Inserting a suitably sized screw driver or Allen-key into
the centre of the conduit entry plug and bend the plug back and forth until it breaks away
from the enclosure.
Always use IP rated cable glands when fitting cable to the instrument. If any electrical
entries are opened using the method above and are later not used, these must be sealed using
a threaded conduit plug with an appropriate IP rating (IP66 or IP67 is recommended)
3.3 Integral Meter Mounting
This instrument may be purchased as a meter mount display which will mount on the top of
any Flomec flow meter. For any instruments purchased as field mount, these may be
converted to a meter mount instrument by purchasing a new rear enclosure.
Likewise for mounting of instruments on flowmeters with a process temperature of over
80
o
C there is a ‘Cooling Fin Kit’ available from the manufacturer which will allow this; these
may be retro-fitted in the field with minimal effort.
