Hygienic applications
In 3A and EHEDG certified hygienic applications the flowmeter must be installed vertically as shown in 1 above.
Installation in a drop line
Installation in a drop line is only recommended if a pipeline reduction or orifice with a smaller cross-section can be installed
to create back-pressure and prevent the sensor from being partially drained while measuring.

Mounting the device

NOTICE
Incorrect mounting
The device can be damaged, destroyed or its functionality impaired through improper mounting.
● Before installing ensure there is no visible damage present on the device.
● Make sure that process connectors are clean, and suitable gaskets and glands are used.

Danger of injury or poisoning.
In case of improper mounting hot, toxic and corrosive process media could be released at the connections.
● Ensure that connecting parts (such as flange gaskets and bolts) are suitable for connection and process media.
● Install the sensor in well-supported pipelines in order to support the weight of the flowmeter.
