2. Installation
Receiving/Inspection
• Unpack carefully.
• Verify that all items in the packing list are received and are correct.
• Inspect all instruments for damage or contaminants prior to installation.
If the above three items are satisfactory, proceed with the installation. If not, then stop and contact a customer
service representative.
Packing/Shipping/Returns
These issues are addressed in Appendix C - Customer Service.
Factory Calibration Note
The instrument is factory calibrated to the applications as specified at the time of order. There is no need to perform
any verification or calibration steps prior to installing and placing the instrument in service unless the application has
been varied.
Pre-Installation Procedure
Warning: Only qualified personnel should install this instrument. Install and follow safety procedures in
accordance with the current National Electrical Code. Ensure that power is off during installation.
Any instances where power is applied to the instrument will be noted in this manual. Where the
instructions call for the use of electrical current, the operator assumes all responsibility for
conformance to safety standards and practices.
Caution: The instrument contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Use standard ESD precautions
when handling the control circuit. See below, for ESD details.
The instrument is not designed for weld-in-place applications. Never weld to a process connection or a
structural support.
Damage resulting from moisture penetration of the control circuit or flow element enclosure is not
covered by product warranty.
Use Standard ESD Precautions
Use standard ESD precautions when opening an instrument enclosure or handling the control circuit. FCI
recommends the use of the following precautions: Use a wrist band or heel strap with a 1 megohm resistor connected
to ground. If the instrument is in a shop setting there should be static conductive mats on the work table and floor
with a 1 megohm resistor connected to ground. Connect the instrument to ground. Apply antistatic agents to hand
tools to be used on the instrument. Keep high static producing items away from the instrument such as non-ESD
approved plastic, tape and packing foam.
The above precautions are minimum requirements to be used. The complete use of ESD precautions can be found in
the U.S. Department Of Defense Handbook 263.
