10D1475 MINI-MAG MAGNETIC FLOWMETER INSTRUCTION MANUAL

2.0 INSTALLATION

2.1 Inspection

All Model 10D1475 Magnetic Flowmeters are shipped in heavy duty containers. An itemized list of all
items included in the shipment is attached to the shipping container.
Depending upon the particular model specified, the shipment will generally consist of:
• Magnetic Flowmeter with integrally mounted signal converter and appropriate
mounting hardware kit
or
• Magnetic Flowmeter and appropriate mounting hardware kit, and a remotely mounted
signal converter with mounting hardware and a 30 feet (9m) interconnection cable.
The mounting hardware kit for the Flowmeter includes:
• 4 (or 8) threaded studs and nuts
•
2 gaskets
• appropriate flange adaptor components, if specified.
The centering device (Refer to Figure 2-6) or adaptor sleeves (Refer to
Figure 2-7) required for the particular meter installation are supplied
Inspect all items included in the shipment immediately for indications of damage which may have
occurred during shipment. All damage claims should be reported to the shipping agent involved
before attempting to install or operate the equipment.
The proper use of the items included in the mounting hardware kit, as described subsequently, and
the proper employment of them during installation is necessary to maintain a valid instrument
warranty. An installation and warranty tag is furnished with the mounting hardware kit that provides
the basic information essential for proper meter installation.
Following inspection of the shipment contents, it is suggested that all items be carefully replaced in
the shipping container for transit to the installation site. The use of normal care in the handling and
installation of this equipment will contribute substantially toward satisfactory performance.

2.2 Location

The Flowmeter is suitable for either indoor or outdoor installation. When selecting the installation site,
consideration should be given to the ambient and process temperature limits, as stated in the
Specifications. Consideration should be given to access for servicing the meter. The standard meter
is rated NEMA 4X, watertight, and will withstand rain and hose down. If flooding is a problem, the
optional "Accidental Submersible" flowmeter is suited for 33 feet (of water) depths for up to 48 hours
or a "Continuous Submergence" suitable for use under 33 feet (10 meters) of water is available.
The integrally mounted signal converter includes RFI filters that provide excellent protection against
radiated RFI/EMI. Therefore, stray electromagnetic and electrostatic fields, low power radio transmis-
sions, etc. will have no effect upon the operating characteristics of the electronic package of the
Magnetic Flowmeter system. It is recommended, however, that the meter not be installed within the
immediate proximity of heavy induction equipment.
