4 Flow Switch Installation
4.1 Mechanical installation
4.1.1 General installation instructions
⇒
When choosing the installation site, ensure that the specified limit values (see “Technical data”) are not
exceeded.
⇒
Select suitable measures to prevent the medium from freezing.
If the flow switch is to be used in ambient temperatures of <4°C, do not carry out any operation
beforehand with pure water, e.g. a test run. Residual water in the flow switch can result in frost damage.
⇒
Firstly, clean the pipe system in which the flow switch is to be installed and remove any magnetic
particles, e.g. welding residue.
⇒
The straight in- and outlet pipe (in front of and behind the flow switch) has to be at least
5 x DN.
⇒
The nominal installation position of the flow switch is an “upright
standing position” in horizontal pipework.
⇒
The switches should only be installed in a vertical position, deviation
max. 45° (Fig. 1).
⇒
Please contact the manufacturer if other installation positions are
desired.
⇒
Please make sure that there are no external magnetic fields in the
immediate vicinity of the flow switch, since these can impair device
functioning (Fig. 2).
⇒
There is an arrow on the flow switch. Ensure that this arrow is
parallel with the pipe shaft and is facing in the direction of flow
during installation (Fig. 2).
⇒
The brass and stainless steel union nuts ¾“BSP (version VH...)
have a tightening torque of 25...30 Nm.
⇒
The plastic union nuts (version VK...) have a tightening torque of 7...8 Nm.
Additional information for flow switch version VH...X
⇒
Please observe the specified limit values when choosing the installation site (see “Technical Data”).
⇒
When installing and before starting-up, it is to be guaranteed that the mechanical process connections are
technically tight.
⇒
Always consider the impermeability of the screwing elements for the zone allocation. Depending on the
operating conditions, it may be necessary to regularly check the impermeability of the screwing elements.
