EMC conditions
flowIQ
® 3100 has been designed for installation in housing and meter wells as well in commercial and
industrial buildings. The meter is CE
-
marked according to MID on the basis of OIML R49 type test class E1
and E2, as well as the Low Voltage Directive.
7.1.4
Service
When the meter has been mounted in the system, neither welding nor freezing is allowed. Dismount the
meter from the system before starting such work.
In order to facilitate replacement of the meter, closing valves should be mounted on both sides of the
meter
.
Under normal operating conditions no pipe strainer is required in front of the meter.
7.2
Installation angle
The meter can be mounted at all angles and in all positions. Thus, the meter can be mounted in a usual
horizontal installation. It can be mount
ed vertically in an ascending pipe, it can be mounted at any angle
and it can be mounted with its display pointing downwards, e.g. under a ceiling.
Mounting the meter in a downpipe, you must be aware that the display will in that case be ‘upside down’.
7.3
S
traight inlet
The meter requires neither straight inlet nor straight outlet to meet the Measuring Instruments Directive
(MID) 2004/22/EC and
OIML R49.
A straight inlet section will only be necessary in case of heavy flow
disturbances before the meter.
