Faults (process or system errors) are output on a digital output or displayed on the display menu. The protection class is IP 65. Flowmax 42i meets the general EMC immunity requirements according to CE, EN 61000-6-3, EN 61000-4-2, EN 61000-4-3, EN 61000-4-4, EN 61000-4-5, EN 61000-4-6. -
Page 7: Assembly And Installation
Notwithstanding it may be advantageous for dosing applications to install the Flowmax 42i as close as possible to the dosing valve, as soft pipes change the cross-section depending on the system pressure. This may lead to repeatable differences. -
Page 8: Assembly Of The Flowmeter
Assembly and installation Flowmax When using pumps, Flowmax 42i must be installed in flow direction on the pressure side, in order to ensure sufficient pressure. The maximum pressure rating of Flowmax 42i has to be considered. WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum pressure allowance for of the Flowmax 42i (see section 5.3 Technical specifications). -
Page 9: Figure 5: Mounting Possibilities

Spanish, French and German. 3.2.2 Dosing The Flowmax 42i can be configured for manually dosing by choosing the dosing function via the user display. The Volume “Dosing Quantity“ and the “Dosing Time“ are freely adjustable. The dosing time is intended as a safeguard against unintentional overspill. -
Page 19: Media
In the sub menu “Set Offset” it is possible to set the actual offset of the flowmeter. Use this function only when Flowmax 42i is completely filled with liquid, and there is no flow, as this condition is the new “zero” value. -
