4. INSTALLATION
(12) Grounding
IMPORTANT
Improper grounding can have an adverse affect
on the flow measurement. Please ensure that
the instrument is properly grounded.
The electromotive force of the magnetic flowmeter is
minute and it is easy to be affected by noise. And also
that reference electric potential is the same as the
measuring fluid potential. Therefore, the reference
electric potential (terminal potential) of the Flow Tube
and the Converter/Amplifier also need to be the same
as the measuring fluid. And moreover, that the poten-
tial must be the same with ground.
Please be sure to ground according to Figure 4.1.7.

4.2 Handling Precau-
tions
WARNING
The Magnetic Flowmeter is a heavy instrument.
Please be careful to prevent persons from
injuring when it is handled.
4.2.1
General Precautions
(1) Precaution for Carrying
The Magnetic Flowmeter is packed tightly. When it is
unpacked, please give attention to prevent damages to
the flowmeter. And to prevent the accident during
carry to the installing location, please carry it near the
location keeping packed as it delivered.
CAUTION
In case the Magnetic Flowmeter lifts up, please
refer to Figure 4.2.1. Please never lift up by
using a bar through the flowmeter. It damages
liner severely.
