5.1 Introduction
It is very important to check the shipment of your ultrasonic
flowmeter equipment. By means of a visual inspection
of surfaces, paint, flange sealing faces and electronics
housing should be performed. In case of damage, contact
Euromisure immediately. In addition verify all the necessary
documentation is available as well:
■
Safety instructions [1]
■
Installation, operation and maintenance manual (this
document).
In addition to this additional documentation may be required
based on project specifications. In the event documentation
is missing contact Euromisure or your local representative
immediately.
5.2.1 Installation configurations
The recommended installation configurations are shown in the below figure. Refer to your specific type approval for approved
installation configurations OIMLR137 and MID 2014/32/EU.
5.2 Installation in the pipeline
The FLC-UFL series ultrasonic flowmeter is shipped in a
wooden crate. To open the crate remove the top panel nails
or screws and disassemble the box. Remove the transport
fixtures and then move the flowmeter (using the lifting lugs
provided on the flow cell) to the installation site. Install the
meter according to end-user’s company regulations and
applicable local and national requirements. To ensure optimal
performance of the flowmeter, comply with the up- and
downstream spool requirements specified for your particular
application.
WARNING!
To avoid possible strain, ensure your lifting
equipment is suitable for the weight of the
FLC-UFL series flowmeter. Always use the
eyebolts provided on the flowbody and make
sure to use approved lifting equipment and
the equipment shows no damage or wear.
