General information on installation

The following points must be observed for the installation:
• The flow direction must correspond to the identification if present.
• The maximum torque for all flange connections must be complied with.
• The devices must be installed without mechanical tension (torsion, bending).
• Install flange and wafer units with coplanar counter flanges and use only appropriate
gaskets.
• Use only gaskets made from a compatible material for the fluid and fluid temperature or use
only gasket material compatible with hygienic designs.
• Gaskets must not extend into the flow area since possible turbulence could influence the
device accuracy.
• The pipeline may not exert any unallowable forces or torques on the device.
• Do not remove the plugs in the cable connectors until you are ready to install the electrical
cable.
• Make sure the gaskets for the housing cover are seated properly. Carefully seal the cover.
Tighten the cover fittings.
• Install the separate transmitter at a largely vibration-free location.
• Do not expose the transmitter to direct sunlight. Provide appropriate sun protection as
necessary.

Supports for meter sizes larger than DN 300

Warning - Potential damage to parts!
Improper support for the device may result in deformed housing and damage to internal
magnet coils.
Place the supports at the edge of the housing (see arrows in the figure).
Devices with meter sizes larger than DN 300 must be mounted with support on a sufficiently
strong foundation.
