The following information is an abbreviated list of what you need to do for your flow
meter to achieve maximum possible repeatability and accuracy. Most of the steps will be
required for all products. Please read this before you start.
You will ultimately need to refer to the product manual, which is found on the attached
CD. Given the Model number of your product, you can find the manual you require.

Unpacking/Expected Content
Your flow meter has been shipped to you with the following items. Please make sure you
have them and contact us if this is incomplete.
1. Flowmeter, compare the packing list against your order.
2. Calibration certificate
3. Flow Computer Input Configuration Sheet (155 only)
4. Manual on CD
Mounting of the equipment (see guidelines sheet)
You will need to remove the protective shipping covers from the sensor or flowbody
before installing the unit. A thermal meter must have direct contact with the process fluid
to work. The meter will need to be mounted in accordance to safe design practice
accounting for the process pressures, corrosion, temperature and any potentially
hazardous area requirements. The electronics head needs to be in an accessible area so
you can do the wiring and access local keypad LCD if applicable. Some models have
remote electronics heads, which must be mounted/wired too. Most units can be
programmed with a Laptop portable computer using the USB interface and PC driver.
For best results, please carefully look over the installation guidelines sheet for more on
the sensor placement criteria.
Insertion Meters must be mounted with a compression fitting to the duct/pipe or flange
mounted then checked for leaks. Make sure the insertion depth is adequate to get into the
center 1/3 of the diameter where the flow profiles are the most stable. The distance from
profile disruptions needs to be adhered to for the best repeatability/accuracy, see the
guideline sheet for more details.
In-Line Meters have similar requirements for undisrupted straight runs except for the
534FTB line. Check for process fluid leaks.
