Page 9: Operation
Operation We recommend that, if possible, the medium be introduced to the instrument in gradually increasing amounts. This procedure serves two basic functions: 1. It prevents oscillation of the float upon sudden introduction of media (particularlygases). 2. It prevents possible damage to the instrument caused by pressure surges (as described in the cautionary section). -

If using the setpoint switch, it is particularly important to guard from contamination by ferritic (metal) materials. To protect from these, we suggest the installation of a magnetic filter, such as a KOBOLD MFR.., or equivalent. - Page 11 Caution PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING GENERAL FLOW METER/ MONITOR WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION OF YOUR NEW DEVICE.

- Page 12 If using other media, especially corrosive ones, it is critically important that the user determine chemical compatibility with our instruments. A list, detailing material composition of our instruments, is available from KOBOLD Instruments Inc. upon request. KOBOLD Instruments Inc. cannot accept responsibility for failure and consequences resulting from use of media other than water, mineral oil, air, and nitrogen.
- Page 13 • During operation, there are a number of situations to avoid: a. The sudden cessation of fluid flow causes what is typically referred to as "water hammer". Most people are familiar with this phenomenon from their home experience - it is the cause behind the loud clank of water pipes which occurs when faucets are turned off too suddenly.
