Installing the flowmeter sensor in conditions involving high temperatures

NOTICE - Potential damage to parts!
The device must not be operated outside the permissible ambient temperatures
of -25°... 50 °C (-58 ... 122 °F).
This may prevent the device from functioning correctly and cause damage to the electronic
components.
Shield the device from sources of heat and provide protection against the sun if used
outdoors.
Under high but permissible air temperatures, avoid additional thermal stress from heat
convection or radiation, since these sources of heat may exceed the permissible ambient
temperature on the equipment surface.
To prevent damage to equipment through overheating of the electronic unit, the device must be
installed as follows:
-
-
If a device with integral mount design needs to be installed directly on a hot, horizontal pipeline,
we recommend installing it on the side. In such cases, you should avoid installing it in the 12
o'clock position, otherwise the warm air that rises up will cause additional heating of the
electronics.

If it is being installed close to sources of heat, adequate shielding must be put in place.
If it is being installed outdoors, sun protection must be provided.
