S-179-1-E 1. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Every unit is thoroughly tested and inspected before shipment from our factory. When recieved, its appearance should be inspected for possible damage by rough handling during transit. First of all, thoroughly read the handling precautions described in this section. For topics other than those stated in this section, refer to respective sections.
S-179-1-E 1.2 Transportation Precautions (1) In order to safeguard against damage during transportation, transport the instrument to the installation location in the style packaged from our factory if possible. (2) This instrument is adjusted and inspected as an assembly consisting of the flowmeter, pulse generator (sensor) and register.
S-179-1-E 1.3 Storage Precautions If the instrument is to be stored over an extended period of time before installation, it could be involved in unex- pected happenings. So if an extended period of storage is anticipated, the following precautions should be taken: (1) The instrument should be stored in the style packaged in our factory if circumstances permit.
S-179-1-E 1.4 Installation Location Precautions (1) In this register, a magnetic sensor is used to pick up magnetic fields of signaling magnets embedded in the rotor. For this reason, the instrument should be installed sufficiently away from sources generating magnetic field. If a magnetic valve 10 watts or so is used, separate it at least 10 centimeters from the flowmeter (depending on operating conditions).
