Proper use Proper use Safety □ Use flowmeters of the OMG series solely for flow measurement of lubricating liquids that are chemically neutral and do not contain any gas or solids content. □ Flowmeters require the operation with clean liquids. If coarse soiling, solid particles in the liquid or abrasive fine particles occur during operation, the flowmeter has to be protected additionally by a correspondingly dimensioned operating filter in the pipe system, see "Cleaning the pipe system", page 32.

Accessories Accessories Junction box The junction box simplifies the electrical connection of the various sensors. Up to three sensors can be connected. The sensor cables are combined to form a multi-strand connecting cable which can be supplied as well optionally if required. The detailed assignment plan can be found on the inside of the junction box lid.
Tightening torques Connecting the extension cable Normally the line length does not influence the functional efficiency of the sensors. However, the manufacturer recommends not extending the connection cable of the junction box beyond a maximum length of 100 m. Extension cable as well as cable plug and cable box are available as accessories from the manufacturer.
