Use of the flow meter and its display unit for their intended purpose Remember the following points: HYDREKA products must only be used for the applications described in the catalogue and the related technical documentation. Their use in conjunction with products and components from other brands is subject to HYDREKA approval.
HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meter Page 6 / 79 Installation Manual 1 Safety instructions For the flow meter and its display unit to operate properly and safely, they must be transported, stored, positioned and assembled in accordance with precise rules, and must be used and maintained with care.

This document is the user manual for the following electromagnetic insertion flow meter: HydrINS 2/HydrINS 2 Mini in the configuration with or without displays. For acquisition programming, refer to the HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meter programming manual, or the programming manual for the data logger used.
The HYDREKA range of electromagnetic insertion flow meters comprises the HydrINS 2, which comes in five standard lengths (300, 500, 700, and 1000 mm) and the HydrINS 2 Mini, covering diameters from 70 mm (2.75 in) to more than 2000 mm (78.74 in).
In the case of HydrINS 2/HydrINS 2 Mini, the magnetic field is generated by a coil at the end of the probe, and the water passing through the pipe, whose conductivity must be at least 20 µS/cm, represents the conductor.
Hydreka shall not be held liable for the quality of the measurements performed using the HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meter if the recommendations given below are not observed.
2.4 Safety A danger arises during the physical installation of the HydrINS 2/HydrINS 2 Mini probe. Because of the intrusive nature of the procedure, the probe can be ejected if there is excessive pressure inside the pipe. The probe is supplied with a safety chain, which must be used.
It is connected to a hook that can pivot around the probe. 2.5 Product transport The HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meters are delivered in an appropriate box with polystyrene blocks to protect them during transport.
HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meter Page 13 / 79 Installation Manual Reinforced cases, called PELICASE, are also available for the transport of HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini 300 to 700 models and their accessories: Figure 5: Pelicase transport case...
Contact Hydreka Customer Service to invoke this guarantee if necessary. 2.7 Conditioning the product before use The sensor of the HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meter must be soaked in water for one day before use in order to obtain stable measurements.
