Page 6: Operational Safety
Faults (process or system errors) are output on a digital output or displayed on the display menu. The protection class is IP 65. Flowmax 54i 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 54i 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
Placing the flowmeter after a dosing valve and allowing it to run empty will cause a measuring deviation at the next measurement. To avoid bubbles in the liquid, Flowmax 54i should be installed on the pressure side of the pump. -
Page 9: Figure 4: Mounting Possibilities
® Flowmax Assembly and installation IMPORTANT! The Flowmax 54i must be installed without mechanical tensions on the existing pipe system. The flowmeter may be damaged if there is tension on the existing pipe system. IMPORTANT! The hydraulic screw connections on the process side must be hand- tightened. -

Spanish, French and German. 3.2.2 Dosing The Flowmax 54i 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 54i is completely filled with liquid, and there must be no flow, as this condition is the new “zero” value. -

Page 23: Pulse Value
The pulse value determines the flow volumes for which an output pulse will be emitted. Choose a configuration which will neither exceed the maximum output frequency of the Flowmax 54i (10kHz) nor the maximum input frequency of the control. If the maximum frequency is exceeded the Flowmax 54i will not output pulses correctly. -
