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.
● Ensure that stresses and loading caused by e.g. earthquakes, traffic, high winds and fire
● Ensure that the flowmeter is installed such that it does not act as a focus for pipeline
● Provide adequate protection to minimise any risk of contact with hot surfaces.
4.2

Use according to specifications

"Use according to specifications" covers:
● Use within technical limits.
● Consideration of liquid specifications and references.
● Consideration of specifications as to installation, commissioning and maintenance.
● Operating pressure and temperature must be within the limits indicated on the product label.
● Flow and density must be within the specified limits
Do NOT:
● Use the flowmeter as elastic equalization in pipe systems to compensate for e.g. pipe
● Use the flowmeter as footboard for installation purposes.
