Important:

Make sure that the specied maximum permitted operating pressure of the ow meter

cannot be exceeded, whatever the operating mode of the system. Note the ow meter

range that is dependent on the viscosity of the uid to be measured.

Important:

Make sure that the ow meter is always completely lled both in inow and outow

and that the outow has a little back pressure. This prevents the meter being damaged by

a sudden and steep increase of ow and at the same time improves measurement accuracy.

Important:

Please ush out the pipe lines and the tank thoroughly, to prevent contamination

within the ow meter.

Important:

When mounting the ow meter, you must take great care that the seals are not damaged and

correctly placed in the hydraulic connections of the ow meter. Wrongly installed or dama-

ged seals lead to leakage and to a leaky system, which may have dire consequences.

Please make sure that ow meters with EPDM seals do not come into contact with oil and

greases on a mineral oil basis. These uids can decompose the seals.

The yellow plastic plugs in the hydraulic connections of the ow meter protect the meter

against dirt and contamination during storage and shipping. Before mounting the ow meter

you have to remove these plugs so that in- and outow is free and open.

Important:

Test the connected evaluation electronic system as to whether it can process the maximum

frequency fmax of the ow meter. Check the data from the following table for the relevant

ow meter, or calculate the maximum frequency data fmax° with formula 1.

If the resolution is sixteen-fold, this gives

a recognition of 22.5° (360°/16)

This results in a resolution of 5.625° (22.5°/4)
