Installing / Disassembling the flowmeter sensor

• Installation in the pipe component or weld-on adapter is only possible if the flowmeter sensor
data matches the measuring point specifications.
• It is very important to use the O-ring supplied (not a flat gasket). This is resistant to
measuring media and should be inserted in the groove provided in the pipe component
flange.
• Take care not to damage the measuring elements when inserting the flowmeter sensor into
the pipe component, as this is not permitted.
• The flowmeter sensor should be firmly bolted together with the flange of the insertion
connection. The screws must be tightened evenly to the required torque.
• Torque for screws supplied: 87 Nm (unlubricated, without using spring washers).
• If you are using a pipe component with a hot tap fitting, you must check that the hot tap fitting
is in the disassembly position before releasing the mounting screws.
