Flowmax 44i 2. Assembly and installation
If it is not possible to mount the flowmeter vertically, then mount the instrument
in a location where the pipe will be filled at all times. The best measuring result
is achieved if bubbles do not pass through Flowmax 44i.
Fig. 4: Mounting possibilities
For applications with a "clean design" for which it is necessary to completely
drain the pipe system, we recommend mounting the flowmeter in the vertical
position. Residual liquid may remain inside the device if flowmeter is mounted
horizontally.
Vibrations or mechanical forces may decrease measuring accuracy.
Mounting the flowmeter using two clamps will reduce vibrations or movements.
Use the clamps as seen in the figure below at the inlet and outlet connections of
Flowmax 44i.

Important!
Flowmax 44i must be installed without mechanical tensions on the
existing pipe system. The flowmeter may be damaged if there is tension
on the existing pipe system. Set the axial channel offset to 5mm when
mounting the flowmeter (For details see section 5.1 Dimensions and
weight).
Warning!
Non-compliance of the installation instructions may result in tearing of the
housing, liquid may leak out.
