2. Installation
Receiving/Inspection
• Unpack carefully, observe Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) precautions if handling the flow transmitter.
• Inspect for damage to the flow element and the flow transmitter.
• Verify that all items in the packing list were received and are correct.
• Verify the Delta R Data Sheet and the Instrument Information Sheet are present in the plastic page protector
found in the back of the manual.
If the above items are satisfactory then proceed with installation. If not, then stop and contact the FCI customer
service representative for instructions.
Packing/Shipping/Returns
These issues are addressed in Appendix C - Customer Service.
Factory Calibration Note
The flowmeter is factory calibrated to the flow range specified in the order. There is no need to perform any
verification or calibration steps prior to installing and placing the flowmeter in service.
Pre-Installation Procedure
Warning: Install the flowmeter with properly trained personnel only. Perform the installation according to
the current edition of the National Electrical Code. Ensure that all power is OFF. Any instances
where power is to be applied to the flowmeter will be noted in this manual. Where the
instructions call for the use of power, the operator assumes all responsibility for conformance to
safety standards and practices.
Caution: The flowmeter is not designed for weld-in-place applications. Never weld to process connection
or a structural support.
Damage resulting from moisture penetration of the local or remote enclosure is not covered by
product warranty.
The flow transmitter contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Use standard ESD
precautions when handling the flow transmitter. See below for ESD details.
Use Standard ESD Precautions
Use standard ESD precautions when opening an instrument enclosure or handling the flow transmitter. FCI
recommends the use of the following precautions: Use a wrist band or heel strap with a 1 megohm resistor connected
to ground. If the instrument is in a shop setting there should be static conductive mats on the work table and floor
with a 1 megohm resistor connected to ground. Connect the instrument to ground. Apply antistatic agents to hand
tools to be used on the instrument. Keep high static producing items away from the instrument such as non-ESD
approved plastic, tape and packing foam.
The above precautions are minimum requirements to be used. The complete use of ESD precautions can be found in
the U.S. Department of Defense Handbook 263.
