3. Installation and Startup
3.1 Installation Site Evaluation
Evaluate the site selected for the Remote Indicator installation with respect to the process system
design specifications and Honeywell’s published performance characteristics for your particular
model. Some parameters that you may want to include in your site evaluation are:
• Environmental Conditions:
o Ambient Temperature
o Relative Humidity
• Potential Noise Sources:
o Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
o Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
• Vibration Sources
o Motorized System Devices (e.g., pumps)
o Valve Cavitation
• Process Parameters
o Temperature
o Maximum Pressure Rating
3.2 Display Installation Precautions
Temperature extremes can affect display quality. The display can go blank if the temperature is
below -20°C; however, this is only a temporary condition. The display will again be readable when
temperatures return to within operable limits.
The display update rate may increase at cold temperature extremes, but as with readability, normal
updating resumes when temperatures are within limits for full operability.
3.3 Mounting Remote Indicator
Summary
Remote Indicator models can be attached to a two-inch (50 millimeter) vertical or horizontal pipe
using Honeywell’s optional pipe mounting bracket. Honeywell’s optional wall mounting bracket is
also shown below.
Figure 3 shows typical bracket-mounted installations.
