3.1 Handling and Lifting Safety
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, follow all lifting and
handling instructions.
• Handle all parts carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible, transport the
system to the installation site in the original shipping container.
• PTFE-lined sensors are shipped with end covers that protect flange sealing surfaces
from both mechanical damage and normal unrestrained distortion. Remove the end
covers just before installation.
• Keep the shipping plugs in the conduit ports until you are ready to connect and seal
them. Appropriate care should be taken to prevent water ingress.
• The sensor should be supported by the pipeline. Pipe supports are recommended on
both the inlet and outlet sides of the sensor pipeline. There should be no additional
support attached to the sensor.
• Use proper PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) including safety glasses and safety
shoes.
• Do not lift the meter by holding the electronics housing or junction box.
• The sensor liner is vulnerable to handling damage. Never place anything through the
sensor for the purpose of lifting or gaining leverage. Liner damage can render the
sensor useless.
• Do not drop the device from any height.
