Check packaging and contents for damage.
Do not remove protective materials such as protective stickers or caps on process
connections until the start of the installation process.
Dispose packaging materials in compliance with country-specific regulations.
Install the flow meter avoiding shock and vibration as much as possible.
Use closing valves and bypass line to facilitate zero point setting.

For application involving fluids, avoid installation at highest point of piping. Formation
of gas bubbles and accumulation of gas in measuring tube may result in increased
measurement uncertainties.
In case of gas measurements, avoid installation directly in front of lowest point in pip-
ing. Accumulation of fluids, such as condensate, may result in lower accuracy.
Do not install immediately in front of a free pipe outlet in a downpipe.
Avoid letting the sensor run idle while taking the measurement, e.g. when installed in
front of an air gap to containers in case of filling applications. Doing so may result in
incorrect measurements. To avoid this, install a restriction in the open downpipe or
use an orifice gauge with a diameter smaller than the nominal pipe width.
Each device is tested for pressure prior to delivery.
