Installing/Mounting; Installation Safety Precautions - Siemens SITRANS F Series Operating Instructions Manual

Installing/Mounting

The installation of the sensor has 3 steps:
1. Selecting the measuring site (Page 16)
2. Orienting the sensor (Page 18)
3. Mounting the sensor (Page 19)
Ambient conditions
SITRANS F flowmeters are suitable for in- and outdoor installations.
● The SONO 3300 has the following temperature specifications:
– Media/surface temperature: –10 to 160 °C (14 to 320 °F)
– Ambient temperature: -20 to +60 ºC (-4 ... +140 ºF)
– Storage –40 °C to 85 °C (14 to 185 °F).
● The enclosure rating is IP67 (NEMA 4X/6) or better.
Note
In case of large temperature differences between medium and environment, the sensor
must be isolated to avoid 2-phase flow which will result in inaccurate measuring results

Installation safety precautions

In applications with working pressures/media that can be dangerous to people, surroundings,
equipment or others in case of pipe fracture, we recommend that special precautions such as
special placement, shielding or installation of a security guard or a security valve are taken
when the sensor is mounted.
