Page 7: Installation
Installation CAUTION The surfaces of the device/system and the medium may be hot. Risk of burns! Carry out work only on cooled devices/systems. Work may only be performed by authorized specialists in accordance with the applicable regulations. Use appropriate protective equipment. WARNING The device/system may be under pressure. - Page 8 The layout of piping must ensure that the flow meter is filled with liquid at all times and that no inclusions of air, foam or gas may occur. Aquametro Oil & Marine AG recommends to install bypass valves. Non-Return Flow meter...

- Page 10 NOTICE The filter mounted in the flow meter inlet is only a safety filter and can not act as a dirt filter. Risk of malfunction or damage. If the medium contains dirt always have a dirt filter installed upstream of the flow meter . Heat insulation The electronic counter must not be insulated.
- Page 11 Special requirements - ships On ships, attention is required to ensure that the engine can continue to operate at full power even if there is heavy filter contamination or if the flow meter requires maintenance. A pressure switch can be used to switch over to the bypass and to draw attention for servicing. The engine then continues to operate but without consumption measurements.

Page 17: Operation
Operation NOTE Modification of operation settings may result in faulty or wrong measuring results. Multiple output functions are available, any of these functions can be used simultaneously. 2 potential-free digital outputs (Out.1 + Out.2), each freely programmable The passive current loop is also used to power the flow meter at the same time. - Page 18 4.1 Commissioning Startup and commissioning of mechanical part of flow meter, without programming any electronic counter (VZF II and VZFA II). Open valves slowly, fill pipework gradually. Vent the installation well. Water hammer must be avoided in order not to damage the flow meter. Inclusions of air cause measuring errors in all types of flow meter and can damage them during operation.
