3.2. Determining installation site
•
The installation site should be easy accessible and free of vibrations and shocks.
•
Observe at least 260 mm (10.24 inch) clearance above the housing with the signal conditioning, in
order to be able to remove the sensing probe if necessary.
•
The ambient temperature should not exceed the value as stated in the specifications (see page
20) – consider heating by radiation.
•
The fluid should not condense at the installation site. Condensation on the tip of the sensing probe
must be avoided.
•
In compressed air systems, the installation should be downstream of the dryer.
•
Observe the direction of the flow by the installation (see page 10).
•
Observe the recommended straight pipe lengths up and downstream, in order to warrant the speci-
fied measurement accuracy.
•
The flowmeter should be installed as far as possible from any flow disturbance. Valves or check-
valves should be installed in a respective distance from the flowmeter.
3.3. Installation position
Make sure that the arrow on the tip of the sensing probe is pointing in the direction of the flow.
