Installation conditions
General information
The following points must be observed during installation:
• The flow direction must correspond to the marking, if
present.
• The maximum torque for all flange screws must be
complied with.
• Secure the flange bolts and nuts against pipe vibration.
• The devices must be installed without mechanical tension
(torsion, bending).
• Install flange devices / wafer-type devices with plane
parallel counterflanges and use appropriate gaskets only.
• The piping may not exert any inadmissible forces or
torques on the device.
• Make sure temperature limits are not exceeded operating
the device.
•
Vacuum shocks in the piping should be avoided to
prevent damage to the liners. Vacuum shocks can destroy
the device.
• Do not remove the sealing plugs in the cable glands until
you are ready to install the electrical cable.
• The transmitter with a remote mount design must be
installed at a largely vibration-free location.
• Do not expose the transmitter and sensor to direct
sunlight. Provide appropriate sun protection as
necessary.
• When installing the transmitter in a control cabinet, make
sure adequate cooling is provided.
• In case of a remote mounted transmitter make sure that
the sensor and the transmitter have been assigned
correctly. Compatible devices have the same end
numbers on the name plate, e.g. flowmeter sensor X001
belongs to transmitter Y001 or flowmeter sensor X002
belongs to transmitter Y002.
Devices with an ETFE liner
• In principle, devices with an ETFE liner do not require
additional gaskets.
