The Micro Motion 1700 is a single-variable transmitter designed for compatible Micro Motion Coriolis flow meters. It processes sensor signals to provide a selected flow variable, such as mass flow or volume flow, for industrial process monitoring, batching, and control.
Powered by MVD technology, the transmitter provides diagnostic capabilities to help operators assess meter performance under challenging flow conditions. Its field-mount housing is available for integral or remote installations, depending on the sensor and configuration. Optional operator interface and wireless communication features can further simplify commissioning and routine maintenance.

Technical Highlights & Selection Considerations
- Measured variable: The 1700 is a single-variable transmitter. Confirm whether mass flow or volume flow is required for the application.
- Sensor compatibility: Verify compatibility with the exact Micro Motion Coriolis sensor model before ordering.
- Mounting arrangement: Integral and remote installation options depend on the sensor, wiring, and selected configuration.
- Output signals: A typical configuration provides an active 4–20 mA output and a frequency output that may be configured as a discrete output. Verify the exact model and required signal interfaces.
- Local interface: The local display/operator interface is configuration-dependent. Specify it when local readout and operation are required.
- Wireless communication: WirelessHART™ capability requires compatible equipment and configuration; do not assume it is included as standard.
- Hazardous-area approvals: Class I, Division 1 / Zone 1 housing options are available. Confirm the complete sensor-transmitter assembly's certification for the installation location.
- Safety and custody transfer: Applicable SIL and custody transfer certifications depend on the configuration and application. Verify the required approvals for the complete measurement or safety system.
