Installing the power meter
1.
Mount the power meter so that the fluid flows in the direction of the flow arrow. (
See Figure
1. Page 7
)
2.
Install the power meter at any point in the hydraulic circuit, so that the volume flow,
pressure and temperature displays can be read easily. To connect the power meter to the
piping system, place a wrench on the valve block (wrench flat) on the inlet side.
Do not screw on the opposite end of the power meter as this may cause leaks.
(See
Figure 4).
Attach the wrench on the same side on
the valve body on which the pipeline is
tightened.
Never attach the wrench on the opposite
side of the pipelines that are to be
screwed on.

3.
Use the plastic caps that are also supplied to seal off the power meter after use and keep it
clean. Store it in a transport case.
Alternatively, use quick release couplings as a simple connection and to protect
against any contamination when the power meter is not in use.
You will find schematic diagrams illustrating the mounting position during typical
test procedures with the power meter under
("Conducting the power measurement”
