Install/mounting
2.4 Sensor Installation Procedure
Installation Procedure
Sensor is supplied with flanges suitable for handling. Lifting device should be within 10
degrees of vertical of the axis of the lifting eye.
Equipment Instability
If incorrect installation equipment is used when installing vertical sensor configurations, the
potential for injury exists.
During vertical sensor installation use appropriate equipment to ensure safety.
Flange Failure
Incorrect selection of bolting and gasket materials which will fall within the limits of the
flange and its intended use and which are suitable for the service conditions create the
potential for injury.
The user is responsible for the correct selection of bolting and gasket materials which will
fall within the limits of the flange and its intended use and which are suitable for the service
conditions.
Pressure Hazard
If repair to the instrument is attempted when it is under pressure, the potential for injury
exists.
Never attempt to loosen, remove, or disassemble process connection or instrument
housing while contents are under pressure. Restrict use and repair to qualified personnel.
Each Sensor is labeled with a flow direction arrow indicating the direction of positive (POS)
FLOW. Although the flowmeter allows bi-directional flow, this arrow simply indicates the
direction of positive flow so that the transducer cables can be installed without confusion.
Install the Sensor into the lines with careful attention to this flow direction arrow and also the
rotational orientation as described below.
Sensor Failure
if condensation is not removed from the Sensor before it is installed in the line, the potential
for injury exists.
Remove all condensation from Sensor before installing into line.
Installation of the Sensor should be installed with the lifting eyes at or near the top of the
Sensor (see figure below). Vertical installations have no restrictions since there are no
cavities or Sensor ports to collect condensate and debris.
