Installation and Operation Manual Section 2 Installation X-CM-QmB-eng Part Number: 541B029AAG QmB Series IP40, IP66, IP66XP June, 2011 WARNING Any rotation of the inlet or outlet fitting during installation of a metal seal device may result in a leak. Always use two (2) wrenches when attaching gas lines to prevent rotation.
June, 2011 2-8 Process Mounting The Brooks Quantim will function in any orientation if the Coriolis sensor and the control valve remain filled with process fluid. Entrapped gas in a liquid application and entrapped liquid in a gas application should be prevented as it may disturb the Coriolis sensor and the control valve.
June, 2011 Horizontal Mounting If installing the Brooks Quantim in a horizontal orientation, liquids should flow in the direction of the flow arrow. Situations of entrapped gas in the liquid process should be avoided. In liquid flow applications, it is...
June, 2011 Vertical Mounting If the Brooks Quantim is installed in a vertical orientation, for use in a liquid application liquid should flow upwards through the instrument to help minimize errors due to entrapped gas (See Figure 2-4). For gas flow vertical orientation, flow up or down is acceptable.

June, 2011 3-2 Zero Adjustment After the Brooks Quantim has been fully installed, you must perform the zeroing procedure. This procedure ensures that the instrument responds properly to zero flow condition and sets a baseline for flow. To perform the zeroing operation on the meter/controller, use the ZERO button, which is located on top right hand side (outlet side) of the instrument.
