Scope
This section describes how to install the Spirax Sarco MTI10/MTL10
Flowmeter and how to get started. Installation methods will vary
according to the flowmeter type (insertion or inline).
For Insertion Types (MTI10):
1. Determine lateral position on the pipe
2. Sensor installation depth
3.
Sensor orientation in relation to sensor length and direction of flow
4.
Proper tightening of compression fitting for mounting meter
For Inline Types (MTL10):
1. Determine lateral position on the pipe
2.
Flow body orientation in relation to direction of flow in pipe
3.
Proper tightening of compression fitting
Installation procedures must be performed using a combination of the
end user’s best engineering practices, in compliance with local codes,
and manufacturer’s recommendations.
General Precautions
The following general precautions should be observed:
1.
Exercise care when handling the flowmeter to avoid damaging the
probe, sensor or enclosure.
2. The enclosure covers must be closed except during installation.
3. Mounting MTI10 or MTL10 in direct sunlight can cause the
temperature inside the enclosure to increase beyond design limits,
resulting in failure of LCD display and reduced component life. It is
recommended that a sunshade be installed to avoid direct sunlight.
4.
Ensure the flow direction arrow points in the direction of flow.
5.
Do not install the MTI10 or MTL10 enclosure near an igniter, igniter-
controller or switching equipment.
6. Do not install an external power supply in a cabinet containing an
igniter controller or switching equipment.
7. Ensure that good engineering practices and applicable industry
codes are followed throughout the installation process.
8.
For accurate flow measurement: review flowmeter placement
instructions before installation to ensure a proper flow profile in the
pipe.
