1.BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Every meter is thoroughly tested before it leaves the factory. When received, it should be thoroughly
inspected for any indication of damage during transit.
Necessary handling precautions are described in this section; read the instructions carefully. As for
other information, refer to the respective section. For any inquiries, contact your nearest OVAL sales
office.
CAUTION
When you make inquiries, include the product name, model code, serial number, ratings
and other pertinent information.
1.1 Transit Consideration
() To safeguard against damage during transit, transport FLOW MATE (OVAL M-
Ⅲ
) to the installation
site
in
the
original
cardboard
container
used
for
shipment
from
the
factory if circumstances
permit.
() FLOW MATE (OVAL M-
Ⅲ
) is adjusted and inspected completely with all the components of the meter-
sensor unit, pulse generator, etc. For this reason, treat them as one complete assembly.
1.2 Storage Considerations
If the meter is going to be stored for long periods of time upon receipt before installation, it could be
damaged or deteriorated due to unforeseen circumstances. If a lengthy storage is expected, the
following
precautions should be taken:
() Keep FLOW MATE (OVAL M-
Ⅲ
) in store in the same container used for shipment from OVAL if possible.
() Place of storage should conform to the following requirements:
★
Free from rainwater.
★
Free from vibration and impact shocks.
★
Temperature and relative humidity in the storage place are at or near room temperature and
humidity (around 25℃ and 65% RH).
(3)
If FLOW MATE (OVAL M-
Ⅲ
) that has once been placed in service is to be stored, it should be purged
with clean air, N
gas, etc. to remove residual process fluid from the meter interior, fittings, tubing
inner walls, housing exterior and other components.
NOTE: Use clean detergent, etc. to remove contaminants if necessary.
Do not allow the meter to
spin too fast during the flushing or cleansing process.
(4)
CAUTION
The Super Micro 38 has a plastic resin molded joint ; therefore, excessive tightening
or repetition of mounting and dismounting more than necessary may result in broken
joint or loss of airtightness due to deformed taper screw.
(5) If you want to store the meter for extended periods of time, keep it stored under the conditions
similar to those during shipment.
1.3 Structural Consideration
FLOW MATE (OVAL M-
Ⅲ
) is intended for indoor use. Do not expose it to rainwater or running water.
