Page 15: Arrangement
Arrangement Arrangement 4.1. Conditions required for the transmitter In any case the transmitter has to be installed in the product line and the converter has to be supplied with voltage. When selecting the place for the installation of the measuring instrument you should in any rate ensure that the housing can be opened for service work whenever desired and that the flow meter can be simply removed, if necessary. -
Page 16: Fitting Position - Electrode Axis
Arrangement Fitting position – electrode axis Due to the principle described, the fitting position – to a certain extent – can be selected way desired. The basic condition for accurate measuring results is, however, a full and gas-free meter tube. If possible, the electrode axis should be horizontally arranged, in order to avoid a deposition of gas bubbles or solid particles on the surface of the electrodes. - Page 17 Arrangement Suggestions for installation Wrong At the highest point of the pipeline.
