E-888-5-E 1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN Every OVAL product is thoroughly tested and inspected before shipment from our factory. When received, 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 covered in this section, refer to the respective sections of this manual.
E-888-5-E 2. GENERAL Using the most advanced electronic tehcnologies, this digital instrument has been developed specifically to meet the most demanding flow measurement applications in petroleum products receiving facilities where accuracy is the prime requirement. In response to the liquid flowrate and temperature information arriving from the sensing terminal, such as a flowmeter, it totalizes the flow while implementing meter error and temperature corrections.
E-888-5-E 3. INSTALLATION 3.1 Outline Dimensions All dimensions in millimeters Hold-down Fitting 232.4 Fig. . Outline Dimensions 3.2 Installation 3.2.1 Installation Location Select an installation site where: Min.120 () Mechanical vibration, shock and corrosive gases are negligible. () Air is dry and temperature at room temperature and stable.
E-888-5-E 4. WIRING (See the "Wiring Guidelines" in the instruction manual of the companion pulse generator.) 4.1 Field Wiring Cables () Use electrostatically shielded, polyethylene insulated, vinyl sheathed control cables (CEVS, .5 to mm, -conductor or -conductor), or equivalent, for input signal cables from the flowmeter. For output signal cables, use insulated vinyl sheathed cables (CVV, CVS ...
