Chapter 2 Installation 

Installation Overview 

VorTek’s 

SonoPro

®

 Ultrasonic flow meter installations are simple and 

straightforward. Wiring instructions begin on page 2-20. 

Flow Meter Installation Requirements 

Before installing the flow meter, verify the installation site allows for the fol-
lowing considerations: 

 
1.

 

Line temperature will not exceed the flow meter rating. 

 
2.

 

The location meets the required minimum number of pipe diameters 

upstream and downstream of the sensor head as illustrated in Table 
2-1. 

 
3.

 

Safe and convenient access with adequate clearance for mainte-
nance purposes. 

 
4.

 

The degree of protection of at least IP66 to EN 60529 is only 
achieved if certified cable entries are used that are suitable for 
the application and correctly installed. Unused apertures shall 
be closed with suitable blanking elements (e.g., plugs).  

 
Also, before installation check your flow system for anomalies such as: 
 

•

 

leaks 

•

 

valves or restrictions in the flow path that could create disturbances 
in the flow profile that might cause unexpected flow rate indications 

 

 

 

 

Warning!

 

Consult the flow meter nameplate for 

specific flow meter approvals before any 

hazardous location installation.
