Precautions on installation – Meter
• 
Do not install the product in an area affected 
by strong electromagnetic field. Select a 
location 3-6 feet or more away from the 
following: power line, transformer, electric 
pump, or motor. Do not install the product 
at a point immediately below high voltage 
transmission lines, in the vicinity of other 
electromagnetic flow meters, or near other 
equipment that generates a significant 
magnetic field (such as electrified rails).
• 
Do not install the product in a place where 
stray electrical current is flowing. Electrolytic 
corrosion protection current or a leakage 
current from a submersible pump flowing 
through the metered water can affect 
accuracy or product operation. If such current 
is observed, apply grounding mechanisms to 
isolate the current from the product.
• 
Do not install the product in locations subject 
to corrosive agents such as seawater, brackish 
water, bleach (or other sources of chlorine), 
hydrogen sulfide etc. For unknown soil 
conditions, consider use of a sacrificial anode 
kit. Exposure to strong corrosives may 
invalidate warranty protection.
• 
Do not install the product in a location 
subjected to continuous vibration.
• 
Observe the provision for submergence depth 
when installing in flooded chambers.
• 
When installing the meter outdoors, provide 
shade to prevent exposure to direct sunlight.
• 
Do not mount the meter with its display 
surface facing downwards.
• 
Avoid installing the meter in a very high 
temperature environment as this will shorten 
the battery life.
• 
Provide clearance around the meter pipe 
section for piping work. Provide clearance 
(30cm or more between pipe edge and floor) 
for turning a box wrench, particularly under 
a meter pipe section which has lower side 
bolts and nuts that are difficult to tighten.
The Q4000 is an electromagnetic water 
meter designed to provide consistent 
and accurate measurement in both high 
and low flow-rate environments. With 
an unrestricted flow tube, a 10 year 
battery life and an innovative flangeless 
design, the Q4000 is ideal for a wide 
variety of bulk flow metering applications, 
such as network management, leakage 
monitoring and commercial billing.
