Unpacking and checking the state of delivery
1. On delivery unpack the flowmeter and check for damage during transportation.
2. Report damage during transportation immediately to the manufacturer.
3. Store the supplied pick ups and temperature sensors for the installation.
4. Dispose of packing material in accordance with the locally applicable regulations.
Lifting the flowmeter
► Fasten the hoisting equipment to the flowmeter, see Fig. 1, page 24 and lift the flowmeter.
Storage
As a result of the calibration, the internal components of the flowmeter are wetted with calibration liquid
that has a preservative effect. In addition, a special anticorrosive agent is sprayed onto the interior of the
devices before being dispatched. The connections of the flowmeter are fitted with protective caps.
Unless otherwise specified, the external components of the flowmeter are preserved with a single-coat
PU-based two-component paint. The preservation applied at the factory will protect the flowmeter for up
to six weeks, if it is stored in a dry and clean location. The manufacturer offers a long-term preservation
for storage times of up to 60 months. In the case of long-term preservation the flowmeter is additionally
packed in hermetically sealing anti-corrosion paper.
► Observe the chapters "Storage" and "Preserving".
