METER LOCATION, ORIENTATION AND APPLICATIONS
Meter Mount Conguration
The meter mount configuration has the amplifier mounted directly on the detector. This compact, self-contained
configuration minimizes installation wiring.
Temperature Ranges
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE METER, STRICTLY OBSERVE THE AMPLIFIER’S AND DETECTOR’S MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURE RANGES.
In regions with extremely high ambient temperatures, protect the detector.
Amplifier Ambient temperature – 4…140° F (–20…60° C)
Detector (PTFE) Fluid temperature – 40…212° F (– 40…100° C)
Pipelines and Fluid Flow
Take the following precautions during installation:
• Do not install the meter on pipes with extreme pipe vibrations. If pipes are vibrating, secure the piping with appropriate
pipe supports in front of and behind the meter.
• Do not install the meter close to pipeline valves, fittings or impediments that can cause flow disturbances.
• Do not install the meter on suction sides of pumps.
• Do not install the meter on outlet sides of piston or diaphragm pumps. Pulsating flow can affect meter performance.
• Avoid installing the meter near equipment that produces electrical interference such as electric motors, transformers, variable
frequency, and power cables.
• Verify that both ends of the signal cables are securely fastened.
• Place power cables and signal cables in separate conduits.
• Place the meter where there is enough access for installation and maintenance tasks.
