Emerson 1700 Manuel D’Utilisation

To determine an appropriate location for the transmitter, you must consider the environmental 
requirements of the transmitter and core processor, hazardous area classification, location of power 
source, cable lengths, accessibility for maintenance, and visibility of the display (if the transmitter is 
equipped with a display). 

The transmitter’s environmental requirements include temperature, humidity, and vibration.

Install the transmitter in an environment where ambient temperature is between –40 and +140 °F 
(–40 and +60 °C). If possible, install the transmitter in a location that will prevent direct exposure to 
sunlight.

Different ambient temperature requirements may apply when installing the transmitter in a hazardous 
area. Refer to the approval documentation shipped with the transmitter or available on the Micro 
Motion web site.

Install the transmitter in an environment where relative humidity is between 5 and 95%, 
non-condensing at 140 °F (60 °C).

The transmitter meets IEC 68.2.6, endurance sweep, 5 to 2000 Hz, 50 sweep cycles at 1.0 g.

If you plan to mount the transmitter in a hazardous area:

•

Verify that the transmitter has the appropriate hazardous area approval. Each transmitter has a 
hazardous area approval tag attached to the transmitter housing. 

•

Ensure that any cable used between the transmitter and the sensor meets the hazardous area 
requirements.

For more information about hazardous area classifications and requirements, see Section A.2.

Connect the transmitter to an AC or DC voltage source. The transmitter automatically recognizes the 
source voltage. 

If you are using AC power, the following requirements apply:

•

85–265 VAC

•

50/60  Hz

•

6 watts typical, 11 watts maximum
