Flowmax
54i
2. Assembly and installation
2.1 Installation instructions
The arrow on the nameplate of the Flowmax 54i shows the positive flow direction.
The flowmeter has to be installed in a way so that the flow-through is in the same
direction as the arrow symbol.

For fastest possible bubble detection it is important to keep the pipe distance from
tank to Flowmax 54i as short as possible. Accurate measurement can only be
assured, if the pipe is completely filled and the liquid does not outgas.
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.
Insure that no cavitation dissolve from the measured liquid. Depending on the
measured liquid it can be helpful to have enough back pressure on the outlet of
Flowmax 54i to avoid cavitation. Insure all mechanical connections are tight.
Particles present in the flow stream may result in measuring errors!
When using pumps, Flowmax 54i must be installed in flow direction on the
pressure side, in order to ensure sufficient pressure. The maximum pressure
rating of Flowmax 54i has to be considered.
