Storing the device 
 
Bear the following points in mind when storing devices: 
•  Store the device in its original packaging in a dry and 
dust-free location. 
•  Observe the permitted ambient conditions for transport 
and storage. 
•  Avoid storing the device in direct sunlight. 
•  In principle, the devices may be stored for an unlimited 
period. However, the warranty conditions stipulated in 
the order confirmation of the supplier apply. 
 
 
Ambient conditions 
 
The ambient conditions for the transport and storage of the 
device correspond to the ambient conditions for operation of 
the device. 
Adhere to the device data sheet! 
 
 
Returning devices 
 
Address for returns: 
Please contact Customer Center Service according to page 5 for 
nearest service location. 
 
 
 
 
 
5  Installation 
 
General installation conditions 
 
Installation location and assembly 
 
Note the following points when selecting the installation 
location and when mounting the sensor: 
 
•  The ambient conditions (IP rating, ambient temperature 
range T
ambient
) of the device must be adhered to at the 
installation location. 
 
•  Sensors and transmitters must not be exposed to direct 
sunlight. If necessary, provide a suitable means of sun 
protection on site. The limit values for ambient 
temperature T
ambient
 must be adhered to. 
 
•  On flange devices, ensure that the counterflanges of the 
piping are aligned plane parallel. Only install flange 
devices with suitable gaskets. 
 
•  Prevent the sensor from coming into contact with other 
objects. 
 
•  The device is designed for industrial applications. 
No special EMC protective measures are required if the 
electromagnetic fields and interference at the installation 
location of the device comply with ‘Best Practice’ (in 
accordance with the standards listed in the declaration of 
conformity). 
Maintain a suitable distance from electromagnetic fields 
and interference that extend beyond the usual 
dimensions. 
 
 
 
Seals 
Users are responsible for selecting and mounting suitable 
gaskets (material, shape). 
Note the following points when selecting and mounting gaskets: 
•  Use gaskets made from a material that is compatible 
with the measuring medium and measuring medium 
temperature. 
•  Gaskets must not extend into the flow area, since 
possible turbulence may influence the accuracy of the 
device. 
 
 
Calculating pressure loss 
Pressure loss depends on the properties of the medium and the 
flow rate. 
A good aid for pressure loss calculation is the Online ABB 
Product Selection Assistant (PSA) for flow at
