Storing the device
Bear the following points in mind when storing devices:
• Store the device in its original packaging in a dry and
dust-free location.
• Observe the permitted ambient conditions for transport
and storage.
• Avoid storing the device in direct sunlight.
• In principle, the devices may be stored for an unlimited
period. However, the warranty conditions stipulated in
the order confirmation of the supplier apply.
Ambient conditions
The ambient conditions for the transport and storage of the
device correspond to the ambient conditions for operation of
the device.

Installation
General installation conditions
Installation location and assembly
Note the following points when selecting the installation
location and when mounting the sensor:
• The ambient conditions (IP rating, ambient temperature
range T
ambient
) of the device must be adhered to at the
installation location.
• Sensors and transmitters must not be exposed to direct
sunlight. If necessary, provide a suitable means of sun
protection on site. The limit values for ambient
temperature T
ambient
must be adhered to.
• On flange devices, ensure that the counterflanges of the
piping are aligned plane parallel. Only install flange
devices with suitable gaskets.
• Prevent the sensor from coming into contact with other
objects.
• The device is designed for industrial applications.
No special EMC protective measures are required if the
electromagnetic fields and interference at the installation
location of the device comply with ‘Best Practice’ (in
accordance with the standards listed in the declaration of
conformity).
Maintain a suitable distance from electromagnetic fields
and interference that extend beyond the usual
dimensions.
Seals
Users are responsible for selecting and mounting suitable
gaskets (material, shape).
Note the following points when selecting and mounting gaskets:
• Use gaskets made from a material that is compatible
with the measuring medium and measuring medium
temperature.
• Gaskets must not extend into the flow area, since
possible turbulence may influence the accuracy of the
device.
Calculating pressure loss
Pressure loss depends on the properties of the medium and the
flow rate.
A good aid for pressure loss calculation is the Online ABB
Product Selection Assistant (PSA) for flow at
