The sensor can be connected to all FCT010, FCT030, SIFLOW and MASS 6000 (non CE) transmitters for remote installation only.

All sensors are delivered with a Sensor Flash or SENSORPROM containing all information about calibration data, identity and factory pre-programming of transmitter settings.

Installation guidelines for SITRANS FC300 sensor

Horizontal installation as shown in figure A is recommended with gas or liquid applications.

This installation is also recommended when the flow velocity is low (< 1 m/s) or the liquid contains solid particles or air bubbles.

Vertical installation as shown in figure B can be used for liquid or gas applications.

For liquid applications upwards flow is recommended to facilitate the removal of air bubbles and to avoid partly emptying of the sensor.
For gas applications we recommend to place the flow inlet on the sensor high and the outlet low to remove impurities and oil films.

• To ensure that the sensor does not become partly empty, there must be a sufficient counter-pressure on the unit min. 0.2 bar (2.9 psi).
• Mount the sensor on a vibration-free and plane wall or steel frame
• Locate the sensor low in the system in order to avoid under-pressure in the sensor separating air/gas in the liquid.
• Ensure that the sensor is not emptied of liquid (during normal operation) otherwise incorrect measurement will occur.
