SECTION 3.0: INSTALLATION
The F-3100 Inline Electromagnetic Flow Meter should be installed by experienced plumbers,
electricians and others with related knowledge and experience in the heating, cooling, and fluid
metering fields. ONICON will be happy to assist with technical recommendations and to provide
guidance by telephone and/or email. On-site field engineering, installation and service are also
available at an additional cost.
The installer should use good trade practices and must adhere to all state and local building or other
applicable codes.
3.1 SITE SELECTION
Careful attention during the site selection process will help the installers with the initial
installation, reduce start-up problems, and make future maintenance easier. For example, do not
install the flow meter where it will be difficult for personnel to perform periodic maintenance.
When selecting a site for mounting, consider the criteria under Section 1.6, WORKING
ENVIRONMENT, as well as the following:
• Integral Mount Transmitter
F-3100 Inline Electromagnetic Flow Meters with integrally mounted transmitters are
shipped fully assembled. Remove the meter from the shipping carton and inspect it for
physical damage.
• Remote Mount Transmitter
F-3100 Inline Electromagnetic Flow Meters ordered with the remote transmitter
mounting option will be shipped in one carton that contains the flow sensor body, the
transmitter with mounting hardware and the necessary cable to connect the two together.
Remove each and inspect it for physical damage.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Proper site selection is critical to the performance of this flow meter. The flow meter must be
properly located within the piping system in order to ensure an accurate flow measurement.
IMPORTANT NOTE
F-3100 transmitters and sensor bodies are two parts of one uniquely calibrated system and must
be installed together. Mixing components from other systems will result in significant calibration
errors.
