SECTION 2.0: UNPACKING
The F-4000 is generally shipped in one package unless optional hardware or equipment is ordered. 
Notify the freight carrier (all products are shipped insured) and ONICON if any items are damaged in transit.
2.1 CHECKING THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED EVERYTHING
• Standard Documentation
 
 
Enclosed with each F-4000 is a comprehensive documentation package that includes the
following items:
This F-4000 Ultrasonic Flow Meter Installation and Operation Guide
The Flow Meter Certificate of Calibration
Site Installation Details Document
Please notify ONICON if any of these items are missing.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The ONICON F-4000 Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a custom calibrated system. Unless specifically noted
in writing by ONICON, ALL COMPONENTS (electronics enclosure and ultrasonic transducers)
share the same serial number and must be installed together as a system. Mixing components from
different systems will result in significant errors in calibration.
i
• The Wall Mount Enclosure
Remove the F-4000 enclosure from the shipping carton and inspect it inside and out for 
physical damage. Please notify ONICON immediately if you discover any damage.
Transducers are shipped in the same carton with the enclosure. Inspect the transducers for 
signs of damage. Each transducer will have a label attached with a serial number identical to 
that found on the F-4000 enclosure. Included with the transducers are two dry coupling pads 
and one tube of coupling compound.
• Transducers Cables
Transducer cables are coiled and packed separately in the outer carton. Taped to the cables 
is a termination kit that includes the fittings necessary to terminate the transducer end of the 
cables. The other end of each cable is already terminated. 
• Installation Hardware
Installation hardware may include mounting brackets and a spacer bar or a track mount 
assembly. Taped to this hardware will be a mounting strap kit. This kit includes the mounting 
straps used to secure the hardware onto the pipe, a sanding block for preparing the pipe 
surface, and a mylar mounting guide used when mounting transducers in direct operating 
mode. The kit will also include a copy of the F-4000 Site Installation Details for this meter. 
This document provides specific details such as transducer spacing. This information is 
unique to the specific installation site and is identified by the meter location tag name and the 
serial number of the meter.
