1.7 Installation requirements sensor
INFORMATION!
To assure a quick, safe and uncomplicated installation, we kindly request you to make provisions
as stated below.
CAUTION!
The device should be protected from corrosive chemicals or gases and dust / particles
accumulation.
INFORMATION!
To avoid measuring errors and malfunctioning of the flowmeter due to gas or air inclusions or an
empty pipe, please observe the following precautions.
CAUTION!
Since gas will collect at the highest point of a pipe, installation of the flowmeter at that location
should be avoided at all times. Also installation in a down going pipe should be avoided since a
completely filled pipe may not be guaranteed due to cascading effects. Additionally flow profile
distortion is possible.
CAUTION!
If you program the diameter, please note that you use the outer diameter of the pipe.
