IMPORTANT (NOTE)
An additional document with Ex safety instructions is available for measuring systems that are
used in explosion hazardous areas. As a result, it is crucial that the specifications and data it
lists are also observed.

General information on installation

The following points must be observed during installation:
• The flow direction must correspond to the marking, if present
• The maximum torque for all flange screws must be complied with
• The devices must be installed without mechanical tension (torsion, bending)
• Install flange devices / wafer-type devices with plane parallel counterflanges and use
appropriate gaskets only
• Only gaskets made from a material that is compatible with the measuring medium and
measuring medium temperature may be used
• Gaskets must not extend into the flow area, since possible turbulence could influence the
accuracy of the device
• The piping may not exert any inadmissible forces or torques on the device
• Do not remove the sealing plugs in the cable glands until you are ready to install the
electrical cable
• Make sure the gaskets for the housing cover are seated correctly. Carefully gasket the
cover. Tighten the cover fittings
• The transmitter with a remote mount design must be installed at a largely vibration-free
location
• Do not expose the transmitter and sensor to direct sunlight. Provide appropriate sun
protection as necessary
• When installing the transmitter in a control cabinet, make sure adequate cooling is provided
• For devices with a remote mount design and a measuring accuracy of 0.2 % of the
measured value, make sure that the sensor and the transmitter have been correctly
assigned. Compatible devices have the same end numbers on the name plate, e.g. X001
and Y001 or X002 and Y002

Supports for meter sizes larger than DN 400

NOTICE - Potential damage to device!
Improper support for the device may result in deformed housing and damage to internal
magnet coils.
Place the supports at the edge of the housing (see arrows in the figure).
Devices with meter sizes larger than DN 400 must be mounted with support on a sufficiently
strong foundation.
