Installation
Dust and Foreign Matter
Avoid having dust or foreign matter enter the flow meter
by taking the following precautions:
•
Thoroughly flush the fluid supply lines before install-
ing the flow meter.
•
When installing fittings, make sure that no sealing
tape overlaps into the inside of the pipe.
•
Install a 100 mesh fluid filter upstream of the flow
meter.
Installing the Flow Meter
NOTE:
You must assemble the meter sensor to the
meter body before connecting the cable to the sensor for
the meter to function properly.
•
Flow volume can only be measured at the location
where the flow meter is installed.
•
The Fluid Flow Meters are intrinsically safe for Haz-
ardous (Classified) Locations, when installed with
an intrinsically safe power device and wiring:
Class I, Div I, Group D, T3 (US and Canada)
Class I, Zone I Group IIA T3 (ATEX only)
TA = 0°C to 60°C
Refer to ANSI standards ISA-RP12.6, NEC Article
504 and the Canadian Electrical Code Appendix F.
•
Do not use more than 200 ft. (61 m) of cable.
•
Refer to F
IG
. 1 to locate and install the flow meter,
connectors, and fluid shutoff valves. Install a check
valve to prevent backflow. The arrows on the flow
meter and check valve show the direction of fluid
flow.
•
The shutoff valves allow you to isolate the meter for
service.
•
Refer to
Dimensions
on page 20 and
Technical
Data
on page 22 for dimension, inlet/outlet size,
temperature and other specifications.
Improper wiring can cause fire and explosion, electric
shock, or other serious injury.
•
Disconnect power source before installing.
•
All electrical equipment must only be installed by
a qualified electrician.
•
Understand and follow your local code and safety
regulations for hazardous location wiring of intrin-
sically safe circuits.
