8.1 Installation requirements
The water meter has built-in data communication, which enables remote reading of the meter.
If installed in pits or basements, the meter must (in some cases) be fitted with an external antenna in order to
secure optimum communication. The antenna must be placed outside pit or basement.
Prior to installation of the water meter the system should be flushed while a fitting piece replaces the meter.
Install the meter - it must be mounted with matching couplings if needed. Always use new gaskets in original
quality.
Place the meter as required. The meter can be mounted at any angle, however, it should be installed
correctly in relation to the flow direction, indicated by an arrow on the side of the meter housing.
Furthermore, the meter ought to be orientated so that the display is easy to read.
(see section
Installation angle and Straight inlet)
When mounting the water meter, you must ensure that the length of the meter thread will not prevent
sufficient tightening of the sealing surface, and make sure that PN10 or PN16 connections are used.
Kamstrup A/S recommends drinking water approved fibre gaskets for cold water installations. If a non-return
valve is installed, it will usually be necessary to use 4 mm PE gaskets instead, to prevent the collar of the
coupling from damaging the valve.
Kamstrup A/S supply such gaskets.
