  • Page 15 Install the meter: – protected from frost (insulate it if necessary with insulation material) and in the lower part of the system to prevent air accumulation; – protected from blows and tampering, where readings are easy to make; – so that the direction of the arrow on the device coincides with the flow direction. Install proper interception valves upstream and downstream of the meter to permit main- tenance operations and inspections on the device, as well as to check the system.
  • Page 16 – Fasten the meter flange (1) to the counterflange (2) using nuts and bolts (not provided) (3). Make sure that the seal is positioned correctly and that it is level with the flange. WARNING! Make sure that the flange and counter-flange holes are aligned.

  • Page 18 WARNING! Sensitivity class in installation conditions: H U3-D0, V U3-D0 Correct meter installation requires a straight length upstream equal to or great- er than 3 times the diameter of the instrument (H/V U3). Downstream, this pre- caution is not required (H/V D0). If the U and/or D letters are followed by the letter S, install a flow straightener.
