Dynasonics MFX Series Insertion MagProbe Flow Meter - Manual (Page 12)

Rev. 01/11 -1.10- MFX
PART 1 - TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION
After unpacking, it is recommended to save the shipping carton and
packing materials in case the instrument is stored or re-shipped.
Inspect the equipment and carton for damage. If there is evidence of
shipping damage, notify the carrier immediately.
The enclosure should be mounted in an area that is convenient for
servicing, calibration or for observation of the LCD readout.
1. Locate the transmitter within the length of MagProbe cable that
was supplied with the MFX system. If this is not possible, replace
the entire length of interconnect cable with Belden
®
part number
9536, Dynasonics part number D005-1003-003 or equivalent. Do
not splice the cable as shield integrity will be compromised and
poor performance can result.
2. Mount the MFX transmitter in a location that is:
i Where little vibration exists.
i Protected from falling corrosive fluids.
i Within ambient temperature limits -40 to +185°F (-40 to +85°C)
i Out of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may increase temperatures
within the transmitter to above maximum limit.
3. Mounting: Refer to Figure 1.5 for enclosure and mounting
dimension details. Ensure that enough room is available to allow
for door swing, maintenance and conduit entrances. Secure the
enclosure to a flat surface with four appropriate fasteners.
4. Conduit holes. Conduit hubs should be used where cables enter
the enclosure. Holes not used for cable entry should be sealed
with plugs.
NOTE: Use NEMA 4X (IP66) rated fittings/plugs to maintain the
water tight integrity of the enclosure. Generally, the left conduit hole
(viewed from front) is used for line power; the center conduit hole for
transducer connections and the right hole is utilized for ISO-MOD
I/O wiring.
5. If additional holes are required, drill the appropriate size hole in
the enclosure’s bottom or side. Use extreme care not to run the
drill bit into the wiring or circuits cards.
