4.1 Checking the preconditons
Accompanying every measuring system is a calibration certificate, containing all the important informa-
tion (e.g. serial number, calibrated measuring range, order number, adjusted outputs at time of delivery).
Please ascertain if this data corresponds to the requirements of the measuring point in question.
4.2 Selecting the installation site
• For ambient temperatures see section on "Technical Features".
• The mounting position is arbitrary.
• To prevent negative effects on measurement accuracy, sufficient straight upstream length is required
when small flange connectors DN 25, Transair, G 3/4" and G 1" are used. These entry lengths ensure
elimination of flow profile irregularies before they reach the measuring point at the sensor.
• Use straight, smooth pipes with lengths of approx. 10
×
D for the steadying lengths on the input side. If
using the G 1/2" and G 3/8" adapters, no extra steadying lengths will be required, as flow stabilizing
components have been installed on the inflow sides of the adapters. The flow straightener causes an
increased pressure drop.
• Components affecting flow, such as valves or shut-off fittings should be possibly installed behind the
measuring point.

Should there be any uncertainty or questions regarding the measuring point to be selected, please con-
tact the ABB Service Team in Alzenau.
