3.2 Storage
• Store the device in a dry and dust-free location.
• Avoid lasting direct exposure to the sun.
• Store the device in its original packing.
CAUTION!
Avoid draining or partial filling of the flow sensor.
WARNING!
Vertical down position only in conjunction of a control valve
CAUTION!
Install in a slightly descending pipe section to prevent air from collecting and to avoid faulty
measurements (meter can drain).
3.3.6 Pump
CAUTION!
Mount the flow sensor in such a way that the electrode axis
(X--------X) is approximately in a horizontal pipe run.
CAUTION!
Max. permissible deviation of pipe flange faces:
Lmax - Lmin ≤ 0.5 mm / 0.02"
3.3.10 Grounding
CAUTION!
The grounding wire should not transmit any interference voltage. Therefore do not ground any
other electrical device at the same conductor.
CAUTION!
When connecting to functional extra-low voltages (24VDC) , ensure that you use protective
separation (PELV) according to IEC 364/IEC 536 or VDE 0100/VDE 0106.
INFORMATION!
Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order.

CAUTION!
Use only a 4 wire cable (Pin 1 to 4)
Use one of the following attachment plug types to connect the flowmeter to a third
party system:
• moulded plug, straight or angle-entry form
• integrally extruded plug with cable in various lengths
• moulded plug, straight form, especially suitable for high-interference environments
This regulation only applies to spare parts which are under normal operating conditions subjects
to wear and tear.
INFORMATION!
For more precise information, please contact your local representative.
CAUTION!
Should you nevertheless need to return a device for inspection or repair, please pay strict
attention to the following points:
• Due to statutory regulations on environmental protection and safeguarding the health and
safety of our personnel, manufacturer may only handle, test and repair returned devices that
have been in contact with products without risk to personnel and environment.

following certificate (see next section) confirming that the device is safe to handle.
CAUTION!
If the device has been operated with toxic, caustic, flammable or water-endangering products,
you are kindly requested:
• to check and ensure, if necessary by rinsing or neutralizing, that all cavities are free from
such dangerous substances,
• to enclose a certificate with the device confirming that is safe to handle and stating the
product used.

5.4 Disposal
CAUTION!
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with legislation applicable in your country.
in which:
v = mean flow velocity
k = factor correcting for geometry
B = magnetic field strength
D = inner diameter of flow meter
The signal voltage U is picked off by electrodes and is proportional to the mean flow velocity v
and thus the flow rate q. The signal voltage is quite small (typically 1 mV at v = 3 m/s / 10 ft/s and
field coil power of 1 W). Finally, a signal converter is used to amplify the signal voltage, filter it
(separate from noise) and convert it into signals for totalising, recording and output processing.
