1.1. Product Description
Electromagnetic flow meters are intended for fluid measurement in most industries including water,
wastewater, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical.
The Eletta electromagnetic flow meter consists of two main components:
1) The Detector, which includes the flow tube, isolating liner and measuring electrodes, and
2) The Converter, which is the electronic device responsible for signal processing, flow calculation,
display and output signals.
The materials of construction of the wetted parts (liner and electrodes) should be appropriate for the
specifications on the intended use. Review of the compatibilities of the specifications is
recommended.
Eletta's electromagnetic flow meters are factory tested and calibrated. A calibration certificate is
included in the shipment of each meter.

Upon receipt, check your meter for visible damage. The meter is a precision measuring instrument and has
to be handled carefully. Remove the protective plugs and caps for a thorough inspection, If any items are
damaged or missing, contact us.
Make sure the flow meter model meets your specific needs. For your future reference, it might be useful to
record this information on nameplate in the manual in case it becomes unreadable on the meter.

use of lifting lugs for larger sizes is recommended. Very large meter sizes are packed and crated
with the meter laying on its side for shipping safety and stability reasons. In order to lift the meter in
vertical position, it's recommended to use a sling rigged method as shown below.
