For battery supply a lithium battery with connector from Kamstrup A/S must be used. Lithium batteries must be correctly handled and disposed of (see Kamstrup document 5510- 408, ”Lithium batteries - Handling and disposal”). Other repairs require subsequent re-verification in an accredited laboratory.
This means that the static pressure in water must be increased at a given temperature to avoid the steam phase that is shown in the lower right corner of the graph in Figure 5. Kamstrup A/S · Technical description · 5512-876_M1_GB_12.2020...

Furthermore, it must be taken into account that the above static pressure is lower after a contraction than before (e.g. at cones). This means that the static pressure – when measured elsewhere in the installation– might be different from the pressure at the flow sensor outlet.

Electric welding must always be carried out with the earth pole closest to the welding point. Damage to meters due to welding is not comprised by Kamstrup’s factory guarantee. Operational check Carry out an operational check when the complete meter (flow sensor, temperature sensors and calculator) has been installed and connected.
Within the heat, cooling and water meter industry, producers have been working on alternative techniques for the replacement of flow sensors based on the mechanical principle. Research and development at Kamstrup have proven that ultrasonic measuring is the most viable solution. Combined with microprocessor technology and piezo ceramics, ultrasonic measuring is not only accurate but also reliable.
