Chapter 2. Installation
2.1 Introduction
To ensure safe and reliable operation of the PanaFlow Z1G/
Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter , the system must be installed in
accordance with the guidelines established by Panametrics
engineers. Those guidelines are explained in detail in this
chapter.
WARNING!
The PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas
Flowmeter can measure the flow rate of
many gases, some of which are potentially
hazardous. In such cases, the importance
of proper safety practices cannot be
overemphasized.
Be sure to follow all applicable local safety codes and
regulations for installing electrical equipment and working
with hazardous gases or flow conditions. Consult company
safety personnel or local safety authorities to verify the
safety of any procedure or practice.
Attention!
To meet CE Mark requirements for all units
intended for use in the EU or in high electrical
noise environments, all electrical cables
must be installed as described in Appendix
A, “CE Mark Compliance and High Noise
Environments”.
2.2 Lifting instructions
Use proper lifting techniques when moving the PanaFlow
Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter . No lifting hooks or eyelets
are provided. The recommended method for lifting the
PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter is by using
lifting straps on each side of the spool with a stabilizer
bar between them, located above the transmitter head.
Additional care may need to be taken to prevent the
transmitter from rotating, especially on the smaller systems
where the transmitter weight is a larger percentage of
the total system weight. A label similar to Figure 6 , which
illustrates these required precautions, is attached to the
flowcell.

While lifting the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter ,
be sure to observe the warnings and figures below:
WARNING!
Never stand below any object being lifted.

WARNING!
Do not use the transmitter to support the
weight of the flowcell as shown in Figure 8.
The transmitter cannot support the weight of
the Flowcell/Spool..
