The device can be installed in either a horizontal or ver-
tical pipeline.
Make sure that:
•
The section of pipe around the sensor is always
filled.
•
The direction of flow (arrow) points upwards when
installing vertically.
•
The formation of bubbles is avoided in the pipeline
containing the device.
•
The device is always installed upstream from dis-
charge points for liquids with increased conductivity
(e.g.: acids, bases, salt solutions).
Correct

To calm the flow in the pipeline, the specified inlet and
outlet sections are required at the very least.
For increased accuracy, you can make these sections
of contact longer.
Direction of flow: from left to right.

We recommend installing the flow rate transmitter at a
45° to the pipe's central horizontal axis.
This helps to avoid the majority of deposits on the mea-
suring electrodes and measuring errors caused by air
bubbles.
