3. Assembly / Installation
3.1 Installation:
•
Before installing the smart valve flushing needs to be carried out to remove any debris in the branch pipe
to avoid blockage.
•
The installation position of the smart valve should avoid exposure to sunlight, flooding, freezing,
chemical and electromagnetic pollution, and be convenient for disassembly and maintenance.
•
When installing the smart valve, the valve electronics should always be pointing upwards or at a 45
0
angle from top of the pipe. Never to be pointing downwards or at an angle lower than the pipe.
M-Bus communication cables are to be installed far away from other power lines.
When choosing the installation location, make sure that the smart valve is perfectly
accessible for service and operating personnel.
