Attention: The dimensions of the DB51 consumption counter measuring sections do not fullfill the required minimum lengths of the input and outlet runs. Please ensure recommended in - and outlet distances, dimensions for measuring sections see page 12 and 13.
Installation Installation of DB51 The sensor DB51 is pre-supplied with the measuring section. • An installation at customer site is only allowed in the unpressurized state of the system • It has to be checked whether the VA520 is correctly installed in the measuring section, the flow direction arrows must point in the same direction.
DVGW admission, however, it can be used for measurements in natural gas. A DVGW admission is not mandatory. The area outside the pipeline (ambient area of the sensor) must not be an explosive area. DB51 English V1.22 Page 11 of 40...
DIP Switch to “On”. It must be ensured that the connection plugs are still plugged and the gasket is installed correctly, see also chapter 4.1. Alternatively, a 120R resistor can be installed in the plug between pin 2 and pin DB51 English V1.22 Page 14 of 40...
