INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Sitrans FUG1010GCN/GCDN Gas flowmeter. Intended for dedicated appli-
cations, this versatile transit-time flowmeter is easy to set up and operate. The FUG1010GCN flowmeter
represents the state-of-the-art in computerized instrumentation. We are confident that in a very short
time you will appreciate its unrivaled performance and features.
This section presents an example of how to install the FUG1010GCN Gas flowmeter with a minimum of
effort. It explains how to make basic connections to and from the flowmeter and how to use the Installa-
tion Menu to set-up the system for transit-time operation.
CAUTION: Please review the safety considerations below before proceeding.
1.1

IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

The FUG1010GCN Gas flowmeter is electrical equipment that operates from either an external DC or AC
power source. Please observe all the electric safety codes, etc., that apply to your application. We recom-
mend that only experienced personnel with knowledge of local electrical codes and operating safety
procedures of the facility perform the installation and wiring. Since regulations vary by geographic loca-
tion, industry, etc., it is solely the user's responsibility to operate this equipment safely.
Siemens cannot accept responsibility for any damage that may occur due to failure to observe any local
safety rules. If this equipment is used for a hazardous application (high line pressure, hostile liquid
characteristics, perilous atmosphere, etc.), the end-user must ensure that only properly trained person-
nel are involved in the installation and operation.
