3.3 Installation requirements
INFORMATION!
Inspect the packaging carefully for damages or signs of rough handling. Report damage to the
carrier and to the local office of the manufacturer.
INFORMATION!
Do a check of the packing list to make sure that you have all the elements given in the order.
INFORMATION!
Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order.
Check for the correct supply voltage printed on the nameplate.
CAUTION!
When installing the flowmeter in the piping please observe the following points:
•
The variable area flowmeter must be installed vertically (measuring principle). The flow
direction must be from bottom to top. For installation recommendations please refer also to
VDI/VDE Directive 3513 Sheet 3.
• Before connecting, blow or flush out the pipes leading to the flowmeter.
• Pipes for gas flow need to be dried before the flowmeter is installed.
• Use connectors suitable for the particular version of the flowmeter.
• Align the pipes axially with the connections on the flowmeter so that they are free of stresses.
• If necessary, the piping has to be supported to prevent vibrations being transmitted to the
flowmeter.
• Do not lay signal cables directly next to cables for the power supply.
• If several instruments are installed side by side, a minimum distance between these divices is
required (see Technical Data).
