IMPORTANT
If it is impossible to match the direction of the arrow 
mark, the direction of the electrical connection can 
be changed. Refer to the applicable user’s manuals

(3)  Positioning the Flowmeter
Installtheowmeteronamountingbaseandpositionit
sothatthecenteraxisoftheowtubeisalignedwiththat

theconnectingportsoftheowmeter.
CAUTION
Ceramics pipes may be damaged if the nuts are 
tightened when the center axes are not properly aligned.
(4)  Tightening Nuts
Use a torque wrench to tighten the union joint nuts.
CAUTION
Tighten the union joint nuts according to the tightening 
torquevaluesinTable3.3.2.Forpermeableuid(such
asnitricacid,hydrouoricacidorsodiumhydrateat
high temperature), tighten the nuts according to the 
torque values in Table 3.3.3.

possible that the nuts may loosen as time passes. 
Retighten the nuts if this is the case. Be sure to use 
the gasket (thickness is 1.5 mm) which comes with the 
owmeter.
