4 Packaging, transport and storage 4.1 Purpose The packaging is designed to protect the packaged product during transport, loading, unloading and during periods of storage in such a way that no detri- mental changes occur. The packaging must protect the goods against per- mitted transport stresses such as vibration, knocks and moisture (rain, snow, condensation).
Page 17
4 Packaging, transport and storage Every delivered shipment must be checked for the following by the recipient before acceptance (acknowledgment of receipt): ▪ Completeness based on the delivery slip ▪ External damage of any kind. The checks must take place after unloading, when the box or transport con- tainer can be accessed from all sides.
4 Packaging, transport and storage 4.5 Further transport Use the original product packaging for further transport. If you transport the product to the final installation site in a mounted state, observe the following information in order to protect the product against me- chanical damage due to external influences.

5 Mounting 5.2 Fastening the flow indicator to a pipe There are various versions of the flow indicator, depending on various factors (e.g. coolant used, electrical connection, flange design). The display part and transmitter part are adjusted to one another at the factory and have identical serial numbers. Only attach transmitter parts and display parts together that have identical serial numbers.
Page 22
5 Mounting Proceed as follows to fasten the flow indicator to the pipe: 1. Loosen the screws on the display part and remove the display part from the transmitter part. Figure 4: Removing the display part 2. Fasten the transmitter part with gasket on the flange such that the im- printed arrow points in the flow direction of the cooling medium.
5 Mounting the pointer is not pointing to PUMP OFF, remove the display part from the transmitter part and turn the magnet on the bottom of the display part until the pointer points to PUMP OFF. Screw the display part back onto the transmitter part.
5 Mounting The cables used must be flame-resistant in accordance with IEC 60332-1-2 or UL 2556 VW-1. Cable Terminals Conductor cross-section / cable diameter External protective ≥ all other wires conductor Wires for connection 12/11/14 Standard device version: 6 x 1 mm …2.5 mm via terminal box Ø...
5 Mounting 6. Put the cover on the terminal box and tighten the cross recessed head screws (bit size PH 2) crosswise with a torque of 3 Nm. 7. Ground the flow indicator using a grounding cable with a ring-type cable socket.
5 Mounting Figure 10: MIL plug 2. Ground the flow indicator using a grounding cable with a ring-type cable socket. The copper-aluminum washer must be on the display part here. Figure 11: Ground connection 5.4 Tests After installing the flow indicator, check to make sure the flange joint is sealed and the micro-switches function correctly.
