Proper use Safety □ Use flowmeters of the OMP 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",...

Operating limits Operating limits Technical data The values specified on the rating plate and the calibration certificate apply. The permissible operational limits of individual values influence each other so that every application is checked individually by the manufacturer when selecting the flowmeter. If no operating data are provided by the orderer, standardized substitute operating data are used.
The sound pressure level of the flowmeter amounts to less than 70 dB(A). Heating system A heating system is not installed at the factory. The customer can optionally fit OMP-series KRAL flowmeters with a trace heating system. The manufacturer recommends heating systems for high- viscosity liquids that do not flow sufficiently if not heated, because bearing damage and destruction of the device may otherwise result.
Dimensions and weights CAUTION Defective pick up, temperature sensor or cabling due to exceeding of the maximum temperature. ► Do not heat the pick up, temperature sensor, junction box and corresponding cables above the temperature specified in the associated operating instructions. ►...

- require the use of a second pick up. This additional signal (90° phase-offset) and the incremental encoding inputs available in the KRAL electronic unit can be used to determine the direction of flow and to take it into consideration when calculating the total values.
Unpacking and checking the state of delivery Unpacking and checking the state of delivery Transportation, storage and disposal 1. Upon delivery unpack the flowmeter and check for transport damage. 2. Report damage during transportation immediately to the manufacturer. 3. Store the supplied pick up and temperature sensor for the installation. 4.
Disposal After about six months storage check the oil level in the flowmeter and if necessary top up oil. Check the preservation of the outer housing and if necessary apply oil to the parts again. Notice: Store the preserved flowmeter cool and dry and protect it against direct sunlight. Notice: After a longer storage time the manufacturer recommends that you have the flowmeter recalibrated, see "Re-calibration of the flowmeters", page 29.
"Trace heating system", page 9. Installing the flowmeter Flowmeters of the OMP series can be operated in any mounting position. Notice: Both directions of flow are possible. The preferred flow direction is indicated on the rating plate by means of a bright arrow, see Fig.
Installing the flowmeter Preferred installation variant Flow vertically from bottom to top ► Preferred installation variant. Recommendations for alternative installation variants Flow vertically from top to bottom No vertical installation with open outlet ► Ensure that the liquid does not flow freely out ►...
Installing the flowmeter CAUTION Measuring error through air in the pipe system and/or incorrect installation of the flowmeter. ► In the case of horizontal installation of the flowmeter at the highest point of the pipe system an air pocket can arise that results in measuring errors. ►...
Electrical installation 1. Remove the protective covers and store them. 2. Install the flowmeter stress-free in the pipe system while taking the preferred direction of flow into account and ensure that the connections of the pick up remain accessible. 3. The screw-in length of the piping may not exceed the threaded length of the flowmeter, since the flow cross-section is narrowed and internal components can be damaged.

Removing the flowmeter WARNING Risk of injury through emitted hot, poisonous or corrosive pumped liquid when removing the flowmeter. ► Observe the safety regulations for handling dangerous liquids. ► Ensure that the flowmeter is not under pressure. ► Collect the emitted pumped liquid safely and dispose of it in an environmentally compatible manner.
Commissioning Commissioning Operation Cleaning the pipe system To protect the flowmeter against soiling carefully clean the complete pipe system before commissioning. Possibilities: □ Rinsing via bypass □ Rinsing with flowmeter CAUTION Damage to equipment through usage of an incorrect rinsing liquid. ►...
Switching off the flowmeter CAUTION Measuring error through gas inclusion in the pipe system. ► Before commissioning, make sure that the flowmeter is filled. ► Vent the pipe system. CAUTION Increased wear and/or blocking of the flowmeter due to solid particles or abrasive fine particles in the liquid.
