2.8 Installation and safety instructions
INFORMATION!
To assure a quick, safe and uncomplicated installation, we kindly request you to make provisions
as stated below.
INFORMATION!
The following precautions must be taken to ensure a reliable installation.
•
Make sure that there is adequate space on the sides.
•
Protect the signal converter from direct sunlight and install a sunshade if necessary.
•
Signal converters installed in control cabinets require adequate cooling, e.g. by fan or heat
exchanger.
•
Do not expose the signal converter to intense vibrations and mechanical shocks.
INFORMATION!
To avoid measuring errors and malfunctioning of the flowmeter due to gas or air inclusions or an
empty pipe, please observe the following precautions.
CAUTION!
Since gas will collect at the highest point of a pipe, installation of the flowmeter at that location
should be avoided at all times. Also, installation in a down going pipe should be avoided since a
completely filled pipe may not be guaranteed due to cascading effects. Additionally, flow profile
distortion is possible.
CAUTION!
If you program the diameter, please note that you use the outer diameter of the pipe.
