Vibrations
Vibrations of the pipes should be avoided
by anchoring the pipe before and after the
sensor.
The vibration level should be less than 2.2
g in the range of 20 -150 Hz according to
IEC 068-2-34.
Magnetic fields
Strong magnetic fields close to the sensor
should be avoided.
Gasket position
For the sandwich mounting sensors, to avoid leakage into the inside of the sensor one must make
sure that the rubber gasket (A) (drawing on the following page) is fitted into the stainless steel ring
so that it will be pressed directly on the plastic liner. If the rubber gasket seals against the
stainless steel ring then the liquid pressure will force liquid into the interior of the sensor causing
irreparable damage.
Temperature
In open air installations it is recommended to install a
protection to avoid direct sun light on the flowmeter.
With thermally insulated pipes DO NOT insulate the
sensor. High temperatures can damage it.
The maximum liquid temperatures are shown on
page 8.
MOUNTING
Parallelism
The maximum parallelism error must be less than 0.5 mm
(L
