NOTICE
Incorrect Measurements
Measurements can be distorted if the transducers are positioned close to upstream pipe components and fittings such as pipe
bends, T-branches, valves, pumps and similar obstacles.
To ensure that the GF U1000 V2 WM/WHM is positioned at a place that has an undistorted flow profile, the transducers must be
mounted sufficiently far from possible sources of distortion to prevent these from having any effect on the measurement.
•
Install a straight section of pipe with length 10 times the diameter on the upstream side of the transducer.
•
Install a pipe section with length 5 times the diameter on the downstream side of the transducer. In exceptional cases, a pipe
with length 5 times the diameter may be sufficient.

Pipe inside diameter (Pipe ID) settings
During initial start-up of the U1000 V2 WM/WHM you are asked for entering the pipe ID. Please remember this is the pipe inside
diameter (Pipe ID), as shown in the figure below.

Identify suitable location for temperature measurement (HM versions only)
For optimum reliability on boiler applications, the flow measurement needs to be made on the cold side of the system. For opti-
mum reliability in chiller applications, the flow measurement needs to be made on the warmer side of the system.
