- Route the flow from the top downwards.
- Route the piping at the outlet upwards.

- Lack of counter-pressure at the outlet through downward routing of the piping.
Alternative installation variant:
- Install the flowmeter horizontally.
- Route the piping at the outlet upwards.
Source for measuring error:
- Formation of an air pocket through the installation of the flowmeter at the highest point of the piping.

ATTENTION
Measuring error through air pocket in the flowmeter.
► During installation ensure that the flowmeter is not installed at the highest point in the pipe system.
ATTENTION
Measuring error through a lack of counter-pressure.
► During the installation ensure that the piping at the outlet of the flowmeter runs upwards or that the
pipe diameter is reduced through a reducer so that the liquid generates a counter-pressure.
During the installation of the flowmeter observe the recommendations for the installation variants
and avoid error sources.
