Dielectric isolators are available and are always recommended as an added measure in isolating the
flow computer from the pipeline even though the flow computer does provide 500V galvanic
isolation from the pipeline and should not be affected by cathodic protection or other EMF on the
pipeline. Some (but not all) flow computers may be mounted directly on the pipeline (see Figure 3-
9) or remotely on a vertical standalone two-inch stand-pipe (see Figure 3-10). It is recommended
that isolation fitting always be used in remotely mounted meter systems. Install an isolation fittings
or gasket between the following connections:
The FB2100 flow computer with CPU option 2 includes two on-board channels you can individually
configure as either analog outputs (AO) or analog inputs (AI).
When configured as analog outputs, the channels have the following characteristics:
