Fitting the FLOWSIC30 in the pipeline
1
Position the FLOWSIC30 at the desired location of the pipeline using the lifting gear.
Only use the lifting eyes provided to lift and transport the device. If lifting straps are
used, wrap them around the meter body.
Lay the pipelines without tension to the device to be installed!
2
Check for correct seating and alignment of the flange gasket after installing the fasten
-
ing bolts, but prior to tightening.
3
Align the FLOWSIC30 such that the offsets between inlet pipe, meter body and outlet
pipe are minimized.
4
Insert the fastening bolts and tighten the nuts cross-wise. The tightening torque applied
must not be lower than specified in the project planning.
5
Fill the pipeline and check the installed FLOWSIC30 and piping connections for leaks.
6
Carry out a leak tightness check on the pipeline (in accordance with the pipeline manu
-
facturer's specifications).
3.3.6
SPU alignment
The signal processing unit (SPU) can be turned so that the display can be easily read and
that cable routing is facilitated (see
).
1
Loosen the allen screw at the cap nut with an allen key.
2
Loosen the cap nut with a hexagon wrench.
3
Rotate the SPU 270 ° maximum.
4
Tighten the cap nut and allen screw to prevent unintended loosening of the electronics.

Positioning the SPU
NOTICE:
Observe the gas flow direction
The prescribed flow direction is marked on the FLOWSIC30 with an arrow.
Arrow direction and gas flow direction must match.
▸
Install the FLOWSIC30 in flow direction.
The device signals a malfunction when the FLOWSIC30 is installed against
the prescribed flow direction.
WARNING:
Hazard through material fatigue
The FLOWSIC30 has been designed for use under mainly static loads.
▸
The pressure change within the measuring section must not exceed
5
bar/min (72.5 psi/min) in order to protect transducers and seals.
The number of complete pressure application and release processes should be
kept low during operation.
▸
Replace the device when 500 cycles have been reached.
