Installation / Connection / Commissioning - Honeywell BK-G40 Instruction Manual

7. Installation / Connection / Commissioning

The meter must be installed in accordance with the regulations in force.
Compliance with the directives of the gas supply company or, in the case of
Germany, of the DVGW Code of Practice G600 (DVGW-TRGI), in the version
currently valid in each case, is required for the installation of gas meters.
When the gas meter is stored or installed outdoors, protect the site against
rain.
Before installation, please ensure:
 that the protective caps and/or plastic sheeting is or are removed
 that the meter and accessories have been inspected for transport
damage
 that the accessories have been checked for completeness
 that you only use seals made from approved materials
 INFORMATION!
A suitable substructure is recommended for the BK-G100 version
to take the strain off the pipeline.
Then install the meter
 Gas-tight
 In the driest possible environment and where it may be easily read (the
meter must not come into contact with surrounding masonry)
 Only in flow direction (as marked by an arrow on the meter housing)
 Free of mechanical stress, and make sure when inserting the seals that
the seal faces are clean and undamaged, and that the seals are
concentrically aligned and do not protrude into the pipe cross-section.
For the compression of seals and the resulting tightening torques for the
connection elements, the seal or the screw manufacturers' specifications
must be observed.
 Only use the seals once!
Installation instruction for tightening of screws at the flange:
Tighten the screws diagonally in several stages until the desired torque is
reached. It is very important that the screws are tightened diagonally and
gradually in order to prevent the flange bending (both flanges must be
parallel to each other).
