1. A process transmitter for measuring a process variable, the process transmitter comprising:

  • a process sensor for sensing a process variable of a process fluid;

    transmitter circuitry for processing a signal from the process sensor;

    a transmitter housing for receiving the process sensor and transmitter circuitry;

    a transmitter mounting component connected to the housing to isolate the sensor, the transmitter circuitry or the transmitter housing from the process fluid or an external environment; and

    a non-contact proximity sensor system for detecting a spatial relationship between the transmitter housing and the transmitter mounting component.
