Step 1: Selection of measurement point & pipe preparation
Avoid installation of sensors in the vicinity of deformations and
●
pipe defects, near welding seams or where deposits could have
accumulated.
Select a measuring point with sufficient straight pipe to obtain
●
accurate measurements, generally a length of ten times the
pipe diameter on the inlet of the measuring point, and a five
times pipe diameter on the outlet.
For a horizontal pipe, mount the sensors on the side of the
●
pipe. For a vertical pipe, mount the sensors at a location where
the liquid flows upwards. (Pic 1)
Mount the sensors in the direction of the flow. (Pic 2)
●
Clean the pipe at the measuring point. Remove loose paint and
●
rust with a wire brush or file.
Apply coupling paste to the bottom of the clamp-on sensors
●
before installation. Leave straps slightly loose so sensors can
be moved along the pipe during the positioning process.

Step 2: Keyboard Familiarisation
Step 3: Quick Start Menu and Setup Wizard
After the provisional installation of the sensors, connect the trans-
mitter to a power source. You can then enter the parameters into
the Setup Wizard to prepare the flow meter for measurement.
On subsequent restoration of power the flow meter will be in
measurement mode. Press <ESC> to return to the main menu.
