Verifying the conditions

Important
Before installing and commissioning the device, thoroughly read the operating instructions and
observe the following instructions.
For each measuring system a calibration certificate is delivered which contains all the key
information such as the measuring medium, measuring range, nominal diameter, serial number
and order number.
Especially observe the following:
The operating conditions of the measuring point must fully comply with the specification in
the calibration certificate, such as the permissible measuring medium, operating
temperature, operating pressure, measuring range, etc.
Observe the permissible ambient temperatures.
Correctly install the pipe component or weld-on adapter. Observe the flow direction!
Ensure compliance with the recommended inflow/outflow sections
Correctly mount the flowmeter sensor to the pipe component.
Correctly install all gaskets and check them for perfect condition.
Correctly install all electrical connections.
3.3

Selecting the installation site

The installation site must fulfill the requirements stated in the chapter "Technical Data:
Environmental Conditions".
In order to prevent the measuring accuracy from being affected, the appropriate inlet and
outlet sections must be provided. These steadying lengths ensure that any disturbances of
the flow profile are eliminated before reaching the actual measuring point at the flowmeter
sensor.
Provide straight, undisturbed pipes for steadying. The lengths of these pipes depends on the
type of disturbance on the inlet side (see chapter 3.1).
Components affecting the flow like valves or shut-off devices should be installed on the
outlet side, i. e. downstream of the measuring point.
When using a weld-on adapter to install the flowmeter sensor, observe chapter 9.2.
Make sure that all installed devices can be accessed easily.
