Installation location and position If required the position of the signal converter can be modified by turning the display through 90° or 180° Keep measuring tube completely filled at all times for proper flow measurement. Non-wetted sensors UFM 3030...
There is no damage when this occurs. Flow direction. The UFM 3030 is a bi-directional flowmeter. Note the indicating arrow for the positive direction on the flowmeter. In case of direct sunlight, we recommend installation of a sunshield to prolong the life of the meter.

Connection of sensor cables (UFM 3030F only) For the UFM 3030 F the sensors must be connected using the factory supplied MR06 cable between the flow sensor terminal box and the converter housing terminal box. For the UFM 3030C this is connected at the factory.
