Remote Electronics
The remote electronics display may be mounted up to 100 metres from the meter body using
SAFMAG cable. It should be mounted on the wall or a pipe stand. The display housings have
dedicated points for mounting. DO NOT drill into the enclosure, this will void IP rating and
warranty. Avoid direct sunlight on the LCD display as this can make it difficult to read and
cause fading over time. If mounted in an area where there is exposure to direct sunlight it is
advisable to mount the display facing south and provide shade. Avoid mounting the display in
any area where there is a possibility of flooding.
Avoid mounting near VSD (variable speed drives) and motors.
The β-meter r is not rated for use in hazardous areas.
Flowtube (Fullbore sensor)
While installing the meter it is recommended to follow the arrow marking [] on the flowmeter
tube, which indicates the direction of flow. If the meter is installed in the opposite direction to
that indicated by the arrow, the meter will read zero or reverse flow under all flow conditions.
This situation can be remedied by reversing the wires marked COIL on the electronic board.
The flowtube may be installed in horizontal or vertical pipelines. If installed horizontally, the
measuring electrodes should be in the horizontal plane avoiding the possibility of bubbles in
line. The flowtube should be full of liquid at all times. Install the flowtube with at least 3 pipe
diameters of straight pipe upstream, and 2 pipe diameters downstream. Ensure that the
gaskets do not protrude into the pipe. This could affect accuracy of the flowmeter. Flowtubes
installed in non-conductive pipework (e.g. PVC HDPE) or lined pipework should have earthing
rings installed and electrically bonded to the flowtube ground. Bonding the flowtube to earth
spike will improve lightning protection.
