4 Installation and electrical connection
Before installing the VM100, check that
 the equipment is switched off and is in a safe and de-energised state.
 the equipment is depressurised and has cooled down.
SUITABLE TOOLS:
 Use only suitable tools of the correct size.

4.1 Installation of the VM100

The flow monitor is self-supporting and can therefore be fitted in any pipeline.
Installation instructions:

Firstly, clean the pipe system in which the flow monitor is to be installed and remove
any magnetic particles, e.g. welding residue.

The preferred installation position is upright vertical in horizon-
tal pipelines.
However, it is also possible for the upper part to deviate from
the vertical by up to 70°

In movable systems subjected to impact or vibration stresses,
the flow monitor should only be installed vertically in horizontal
pipelines.

Please make sure that there are no external magnetic fields in
the immediate vicinity of the flow monitor, since these can im-
pair device functioning

Large ferromagnetic parts can effect the magnetic action of the
flow monitor and endanger operational safety. For this reason,
never install the VM100 near such parts.
