5 Installation and commissioning
5.1
Introduction
It is very important to check the shipment of your ultrasonic flow meter equipment. At least
a visual inspection of surfaces and flanges should be performed. In case of damage,
contact Elster NV/SA immediately.
Also verify if all the necessary documentation is available as well. At least you should have:
•
Safety instructions (doc. Code: 22.100.200.001.02/2 latest valid version)
•
Operation and maintenance manual (doc. Code: 22.100.200.002.02/2 latest valid
revision)
Also look at your project data to see if extra documentation is required and delivered. If
documentation is missing, contact Elster NV/SA or your local agent immediately.

Installation requirements flow cell
5.2.1.
Installing meter in pipeline
The Ultrasonic Flowmeter Series 6 (flow cell, transducers and SPU) is shipped in a suitable
box (e.g. wooden box, cardboard box, …). Carefully disassemble the box. Remove the
transport straps from the flow cell, and then move the ultrasonic flow meter (using the lifting
lugs provided on the flow cell) to the installation site. Install the meter according to end-
user’s company regulations and applicable local and national requirements. To ensure
optimal performance of the UFM, comply with the up- and downstream spool requirements
specified for your particular UFM (see your order documentation).
Warning!
To avoid possible injury, make sure the lifting equipment is suitable
for the weight of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Series 6. Always use the
lifting lugs and make sure lifting equipment is certified and shows
no damage or wear.
Be aware!
•
Special attention needs to be taken when the Ultrasonic
Flowmeter Series 6 has to be installed in accordance with MID
(see chapter 9.5).
