MC-III™ WP Flow Analyzer
Section 2
Remote-Mount Installation on Horizontal Pipe
The remote-mount MC-III WP Flow Analyzer is assembled at the factory for mounting on a vertical pipe.
To install the MC-III WP on a horizontal pipe, the brackets must be removed and reattached in a different
position. To make the adjustment, perform the following steps. Dimensions are provided in Figure 2.6, page
16.
1. Place the enclosure on its face and remove the four screws securing the brackets. Remove the brackets
and set aside the eight spacer flat washers (two at each screw hole). Retain the screws and washers for
use in steps 2 and 3. Note the two sets of mounting holes in the bracket. The screws are positioned in the
holes nearest the center of the bracket (as appropriate for vertical mounting) when the instrument leaves
the factory (Figure 2.5).
2. Dry-fit the brackets with the mounting holes in the enclosure so that a bracket extends to the right and left
of the enclosure (as opposed to top and bottom). Using the washers that were removed in step 1, place
two washers inside each screw hole inset in the enclosure and position the brackets on top of the washers
so that the enclosure screw holes align with the outer holes of the bracket.
3. Insert the screws that were removed in step 1 in the outer holes of the bracket and tighten with a screwdriver (Figure 2.5).
4. Place the “U” bolts around the horizontal pipe section and through the mounting plate.
5. Fasten the mounting plate with the lock washers and nuts supplied with the “U” bolts.
6. Install the signal cable through the rear cable connector at the bottom of the enclosure.
7. Route the cable to the flowmeter and install as shown in the flowmeter user manual.
