Installation and Operating Instructions
Flap-Type Flow Meter KLA
2.5. Information for Operator and Operating Personnel
Authorized installation, operating, inspection and maintenance personnel should be suitable
qualified for the jobs assigned to them, and should receive appropriate training and instruction. All
persons charged with assembly, mounting, operation, inspection and maintenance duties must
have read and understood the operating instructions. Gaskets in contact with the fluid product must
be replaced after all maintenance and repair work.
2.6. Regulations and Guidelines
In addition to the directions given in these Installation and Operating Instructions, observe the
regulations, guidelines and standards, such as DIN EN, and, for specific applications, the codes of
practice issued by DVGW [gas and water] and VdS [underwriters], or the equivalent national codes,
and applicable national accident prevention regulations.
2.7. Notice as Required by the Hazardous Materials Directive
In accordance with the law concerning handling of waste [critical waste] and the hazardous
materials directive [general duty to protect], we would point out that all flow meters returned to
Schmidt Mess- und Regeltechnik for repair are required to be free from any and all hazardous
substances [alkaline solutions, acids, solvents, etc.].
Make sure that devices are thoroughly rinsed out to neutralize hazardous
substances.

3. Transport and Storage
The KLA device is packed by the factory in packaging appropriate for transportation and storage.
Transport and storage should be carried out solely in the original packaging. Protect the device
against rough handling, impact, jolts, etc.!
4. Installation
Flap-type flow meters are suitable for installation in either vertical or horizontal pipe runs. In
vertical pipe runs, flow must be from bottom to top.
Make sure the pipes are correctly spaced and in true alignment at the installation location for the
flow meter. For connection of the KLA device, fit the open ends of the pipeline at the installation
point with flanges appropriate to the flow meter.
Straight unimpeded pipe runs upstream and downstream of the meter’s installation location
should have a length equal to a minimum of 2 x DN.
4.1. Mounting Position KLA
When the KLA is mounted horizontally with left/right or right/left flow direction, make sure that the
device is installed with the scale facing the front. This position will ensure that the device
functions properly [see Figure 1].
The device cannot function, if it is installed with the scale facing upwards or downwards [see
Figure 2].
