4 Installation and electrical connection
Before installing the VM100, check that
the equipment is switched off and is in a safe and de-energised state.
the equipment is depressurised and has cooled down.
SUITABLE TOOLS:
Use only suitable tools of the correct size.
4.1 Installation of the VM100
The flow monitor is self-supporting and can therefore be fitted in any pipeline.
Installation instructions:
Firstly, clean the pipe system in which the flow monitor is to be installed and remove
any magnetic particles, e.g. welding residue.
The preferred installation position is upright vertical in horizon-
tal pipelines.
However, it is also possible for the upper part to deviate from
the vertical by up to 70°
In movable systems subjected to impact or vibration stresses,
the flow monitor should only be installed vertically in horizontal
pipelines.
Please make sure that there are no external magnetic fields in
the immediate vicinity of the flow monitor, since these can im-
pair device functioning
Large ferromagnetic parts can effect the magnetic action of the
flow monitor and endanger operational safety. For this reason,
never install the VM100 near such parts.
