Aalborg Vortex - Manual (Page 16)

A) After inspection, the transmitter should be repacked into its original
packing.
B) Select a clean, dry place to store the meter.
C) Avoid areas of extreme temperatures. The unit should be stored in an area
that falls between -15 °F and +149 °F.
4.4 Mounting
The transmitter enclosure for remote option has two mounting feet for easy wall
mounting. The enclosure should be located within 100 feet from the pipeline
sensor, and ideally should be at eye level for easy viewing and access to the key-
pad for programming.
High-Temperature Installations:
Install the meter body so the electronics are positioned to the side of or below
the pipe. Insulation may be required around the pipe to maintain a temperature
below 149 °F (65 °C).
4.5. Wiring Connections
The transmitter module fits snugly within the enclosure, but will slide out by
hand without the necessity of a tool for removal.

CAUTION: Make proper grounding connections before switching on
power. Grounding the flow meter and transmitter modules is one of
the most important procedures of Vortex installation. Proper
grounding ensures correct and accurate flow measurement.
Use dedicated Grounding Clamp on the meter and transmitter body
(see pages 105-107) to make the proper connection to building
protective earth.
WARNING:
Some of the IC devices used in the transmitter are static sensitive and
may be damaged by improper handling. When adjusting or servicing
the transmitter, use of a grounded wrist strap is recommended to
prevent inadvertent damage to the integral solid state circuitry.
