3.1 Notes on installation
3.2 Storage
Correct storage position
Storage conditions
Maintain the following storage conditions to prevent the equipment from corrosion or early
failure:
• Humidity: <95 % RH (closed and heated storage area)
• Storage temperature: -40...+65º C / -40...+149º F
• Avoid direct solar radiation during long storage periods, store under a sunshade
How to prevent corrosion
Pay attention to the conservation of the inner pipe wall, especially for carbon steel meters.
Typical applications such as measuring dry natural gas (sales quality) or natural gas with a
corrosion inhibitor do not require an anti corrosion coating inside the meter tube. A coating can
even be regarded as unwanted because it may wear off, which will have an impact (although
minor) on the accuracy.
CAUTION!
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.

over.
