Planning Planning This installation manual explains basic installation guidelines for mounting the Micro Motion ® Model 3300 or Model 3500 MVD applications platform in a 19-inch (486,2 mm) rack. For information on I.S. applications, refer to Micro Motion approval documentation. For complete instructions about configuration, maintenance, and service, refer to the instruction manual shipped with the transmitter.
Planning Choose a location Choose a location for the transmitter based on the requirements described below. 1.2.1 Environmental requirements Install the transmitter where ambient temperature is between –4 and +140 °F (–20 and +60 °C). If multiple applications platforms are installed, provide at least 1 U (1 HE) of vertical space between racks to ensure proper ventilation.
Planning Figure 1-2: Dimensions for mounting in rack 1 U = 1 HE = 1.750 inches (44,5 mm) 1 HP = 1 TE = 0.200 inch (5,1 mm) 25 HP 4 x M2.5x11 (25 TE) inches (mm) (3 HE) 5 1/16 4 13/16 (128,5) (122,5)

Planning Install guide rails and wiring connectors 1.4.1 Guide rails Positions of guide rails and wiring connectors are indicated in Figure 1-5. Centers of guide rails should be 27 HP (27 TE) apart, for example, at 1 HP (TE) and 28 HP (TE). 1.4.2 Wiring connectors The applications platform is shipped with the following equipment:...

Align the Model 3500 or Model 3300 with the guide rails. 2.
Mounting Mounting Mount the core processor Use this section only if you are installing a remote transmitter using a remote core processor or a remote enhanced core processor. See Figure 1-4. If you have a 4-wire remote installation, go to Section 3.1.

Connect the core processor housing internal ground screw if earth ground is required. Earth ground is required if the core processor cannot be grounded via sensor piping, and local codes require internal ground connections.

Wiring Additional information for connecting the wires at the core processor is provided below: a. Identify the components shown in Figure 2-1. b. Remove the core processor’s end-cap. c. Insert the 9-wire cable through the conduit opening. d. Connect the wires to the plugs supplied with the core processor. e.
Wiring Connect the power supply wiring CAUTION! • Do not install power supply wiring in the same cable tray or conduit as the input/output wiring to avoid device failure or measurement error. • Shut off the power supply before installing the applications platform. •...
