6 Installation and Commissioning
6.1 Introduction
It is very important to check the shipment of your ultrasonic flow meter
equipment. A visual inspection of surfaces and flanges should be performed.
In case of damage, contact Elster immediately.
As well, please verify if all the necessary documentation is available. In
addition to this Operation and Maintenance manual, you also require (at
bare minimum) the UFM Series 6 Safety Instructions.
Please refer to Appendix I – References for a complete list of related
documentation.
Also look at your project data to see if extra documentation is required and
delivered. If documentation is missing, contact Elster or your local agent
immediately.
6.2 Flow Cell Installation Requirements
6.2.1 Installing a Meter in the Pipeline
The Ultrasonic Flow Meter Series 6 (including flow cell, transducers and
SPU) is shipped in a suitable box (e.g. wooden box, cardboard box …).
Carefully disassemble the box. Remove the transport straps from the flow
cell, and then move the ultrasonic flow meter (using the lifting lugs provided
on the flow cell) to the installation site. Install the meter according to the end-
user’s company regulations and applicable local and national requirements.
To ensure optimal performance of the UFM, comply with the up- and
downstream spool requirements specified for your particular UFM (see your
order documentation).
