STEP 2. Orienting the sensor
The sensor will function properly in any orientation if the sensor tubes
remain filled with process fluid. Micro Motion recommends installing the
sensor according to the type of process fluid and the flow direction:
• Preferred orientations are shown in Figure 5.
• The sensor has a flow direction arrow (see Figure 1) to help you
configure the transmitter for flow direction. If possible, install the
sensor so that the flow direction arrow matches actual process flow.

STEP 3. Mounting the sensor
Use your common practices to minimize torque and bending load on
process connections.
Figure 6 illustrates how to mount the D600 sensor.
If possible, install wiring with the conduit opening pointed down to
reduce the risk of condensation or excessive moisture.
CAUTION
Using the sensor to support piping can damage the
meter or cause measurement error.
Do not use flowmeter to support pipe.
