6. Installation Position, Flow Direction

piston shafts and digit rollers on the index must always be aligned horizontally.
The index can be turned through up to 355° for optimum ease of reading in different
installation/operating positions.

7. Installation / Connection

Warning! Never clean the plastic hood of the index with a dry
cloth owing to the risk of explosion resulting from electrostatic
discharge! Please only ever use an adequately water - moistened
cloth!
Before installation please ensure:
- that the protective caps and/or plastic sheeting is or are removed,
- that the meter and accessories have been inspected for transport damage,
- that the pistons rotate easily in the measuring chamber
(e.g. by blowing on them),
- that the accessories have been checked for completeness
(e.g. plug connectors, oil for initial fi lling).
You will require the following items for installation:
- Suitable seals/gaskets for the relevant gases.
- For installing the meter in the pipe, use screws
in accordance with DIN 931. The screw length
must be selected so that a thread reach of
16 - 22 mm into the meter is guaranteed.
The recommended maximum tightening torque
is defi ned in the table.
