3.1 Environmental conditions
The flowmeter should be located in an environment that minimises the effects of heat,
vibration, shock and electrical interference. (Pressure / temperature limits are detailed in
Section 2.4).
CAUTION: Do not lag (insulate) the TVA flowmeter or mating flanges as this may result
in excessive temperatures in the electronics. Exceeding specified temperature limits
will invalidate the warranty, adversely effect the performance and may damagethe TVA
flowmeter, see Figure 6.
Other considerations
Be sure to allow sufficient clearance for:
-
Installation of conduit / wiring.
-
Removal of the electronics enclosure cover.
-
Viewing of the display.
Note
electronics housing and display can be rotated.
-
Do not allow the earth cable to touch the steam pipe or damage to the sheath will occur.
Tie up any loose (excess) cable.
Warning: Do not install the flowmeter outdoors where it can be subjected to adverse
weather conditions like driving rain or where it can freeze.
