3 Mounting and Installation
Warning!
• The instructions given in this section are to be observed at all times in order to
ensure safe and reliable operation of the measuring system.
• For explosion protected instruments the mounting regulations and the technical
data may differ from those stated here. Please refer to the Ex supplement of this
Operating Manual for additional information.
3.1 Transport instructions (DN ≥ 350/14")
The pipe lining on the flanges is protected by disks to prevent damage when
transporting to the measuring point. These are to be removed when installing.
Instruments are to be transported in the containers they are delivered in.
Transporting to the measuring point
• The sensor must not be lifted by the
transmitter housing!
• Use only the grips on the flange for
lifting out and mounting the sensor in
the piping (from DN 350 or 14").
Caution!
The sensor must not be lifted by the
metal casing using a fork lift truck!
This can buckle the casing and so
damage the internal magnetic coils.
Base and supports
The sensor is to be mounted on a base
which is sufficiently strong enough to
withstand its weight.
Caution!
Do not support the sensor by the sheet
casing. The casing may be dented and
so damage the magnetic coils inside
the sensor.
