□ To maintain the Ingress protection thread sealant, a sealing washer or O-ring must be
applied.
— For Zone 1 applications, thread sealant must also comply with the requirements of
EN/IEC 60079-14 and thus must be non-setting, non-metallic, non-combustible, and
maintain earthing between the equipment and conduit.
— For Class I, Groups A, B, C, and D applications thread sealant must also comply with
the requirements of UL 1203/CSA C22.2 No. 30.
□ Minimize the amount of moisture or condensation inside the transmitter housing.
Moisture inside the transmitter housing can damage the transmitter and cause
measurement error or flow meter failure. To do this:
— Ensure the integrity of all gaskets and O-rings.
— Install drip legs on conduit or cable.
— Seal unused conduit openings.
— Ensure that all covers are fully tightened.
□ Mount the meter in a location and orientation that satisfies the following conditions:
— Allows sufficient clearance to open the transmitter housing cover. Install with 8–10
in. (200–250 mm) clearance at the wiring access points.
— Provides clear access for installing cabling to the transmitter.
— Provides clear access to all wiring terminals for troubleshooting.
