General information on installation

The following points must be observed for the installation:
• The flow direction must correspond to the identification if present.
• The maximum torque for all flange connections must be complied with.
• The devices must be installed without mechanical tension (torsion, bending).
• Install flange units with coplanar counter flanges and use only appropriate gaskets.
• Use only gaskets made from a compatible material for the fluid and fluid temperatures.
• Gaskets must not extend into the flow area since possible turbulence could influence the
device accuracy.
• The pipeline may not exert any unallowable forces or torques on the device.
• Do not remove the plugs in the cable connectors until you are ready to install the electrical
cable.
• Make sure the gaskets for the housing cover are seated properly. Carefully seal the cover.
Tighten the cover fittings.
• Do not expose the transmitter to direct sunlight. Provide appropriate sun protection as
necessary.
