Introduction 

This guide is designed for typical installations only. Maintenance must be performed 
by personnel knowledgeable of the ABB Totalflow

®

 

µ

FLO

G5

 flow computer, the 

integral multivariable transducer (IMV), and the theory of natural gas electronic flow 
measurement. Maintenance personnel must also be knowledgeable of local and 
national codes as they apply to hazardous areas, communication wiring, and 
electrical wiring. 

 

CAUTION – Equipment damage.

 The 

µ

FLO

G5

 flow computer operating 

temperature range differs from the 

µ

FLO

G4

. The 

µ

FLO

G5

 is rated for 

ambient temperatures between -40 °F and +158 °F (-40 °C and +70 °C).
Do not upgrade to the 

µ

FLO

G5

 if the ambient temperature range falls 

outside of this range. 

Purpose 

This guide provides simple instructions and information for upgrading an original 

µ

FLO (referred to as the 

µ

FLO (G3) for clarification purposes) or a 

µ

FLO

G4

 to a 

µ
