Supports for meter sizes larger than DN 400

Warning - Potential damage to parts!
Improper support for the device may result in deformed housing and damage to internal
magnet coils.
Place the supports at the edge of the housing (see arrows in the figure).
Devices with meter sizes larger than DN 400 must be mounted with support on a sufficiently
strong foundation.

General information on installation

The following points must be observed during installation:
• The measuring tube must be full at all times.
• The flow direction must correspond to the indicated direction, if labeled.
• You must comply with the maximum torque for all flange connections.
• Install the devices without mechanical tension (torsion, bending).
• Install flange and wafer 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 cause 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.
• A separate transmitter (MAG-XE) must be installed at a largely vibration-free location.
• Do not expose the transmitter to direct sunlight. Provide appropriate sun protection as
necessary.
• When selecting the installation site, make sure that moisture cannot penetrate the terminal
housing or transmitter compartment.
Note
For additional information about installation conditions and mounting IDMs, refer to the data
sheet for the device.
