VERSAFLOW VORTEX INFORMATION! If a flow straightener is installed, the required inlet run is shortened. Straight inlet run upstream of straightener ≥ 2 DN Flow straightener Straight pipe run between flow straightener and flowmeter ≥ 8 DN Minimum straight outlet run ≥ 5 DN Minimum outlet runs Upstream of pipe expanders, pipe bends, control valves, etc.
VERSAFLOW VORTEX Piping with control valves Recommended: Installing the flowmeter upstream of the control valve, distance ≥ 5 DN Not recommended: Installing the flowmeter directly downstream of control valves, due to vor- tex formation. Vapor and gas measurement CAUTION! Prohibited: Installing the flowmeter in a lower pipe bend 1, risk of condensate formation 2! Lower pipe bends Condensate...
VERSAFLOW VORTEX Liquid measurement, prohibited installation locations CAUTION! Prohibited: Installing the flowmeter in an upper pipe bend 1, risk of gas bubbles forming! CAUTION! Prohibited: Installing the device in a downstream pipe upstream pipe of a run-out 4. There is the risk of a partially-filled pipe! 34-VF-25-56 iss.1 GLO Sept 07 US...
VERSAFLOW VORTEX Liquid measurement, recommended installation locations CAUTION! It is absolutely necessary to maintain the required inlet and outlet runs! Recommended: If the flowmeter is installed in a downpipe, it is absolutely essential to install a riser pipe immediately after it. Recommended: Installing the flowmeter in an inclined riser pipe.
VERSAFLOW VORTEX General installation instructions CAUTION! Make sure that the connection flanges are sitting concentrically. On metering points with varying thermal loads the flowmeters are to be mounted with stress bolts (DIN 2509). Installed length of flowmeter + thickness of gaskets. 34-VF-25-56 iss.1 GLO Sept 07 US...

VERSAFLOW VORTEX Turning the connection housing DANGER! All work on the flowmeter electrics may only be carried out by appropriately trained personnel. The regional occupational health and safety directives and safety regulations must be observed without exception. Do not damage the electrical cable by over tightening. Do not undo the electrical plug connection.
VERSAFLOW VORTEX Turning the LCD display INFORMATION! If the flowmeter is installed in a vertical pipe, you have to turn the display by 90 ; if installed below a pipe, turn 180 ° ° Turn the display as follows: • Switch off the power supply to the flowmeter.
VERSAFLOW VORTEX Protection category DANGER! The flowmeter meets the requirements of protection category IP After all servicing and maintenance work on the flowmeter, the specified protection category has to be ensured again. Therefore it is essential to observe the following points: •...
