3. INSTALLATION<br />

• Mounting orientation<br />

IMPORTANT<br />

If electrodes are perpendicular to the ground, air<br />

bubbles near the top or precipitates at the<br />

bottom may cause measurement errors. Ensure<br />

that the terminal box of a remote flowtube and<br />

converter of an integral flowmeter are mounted<br />

above the piping to prevent water from entering<br />

them.<br />

CAUTION<br />

In order to lift a magnetic flowmeter that is fitted<br />

with eyebolts, proceed as in Figure 3.2.1. Never<br />

lift it using a bar passed through the flowtube as<br />

this damages the liner severely.<br />

3.2 Handling Precautions<br />

(2) Avoiding Shocks from Impact<br />

WARNING<br />

The magnetic flowmeter is a heavy instrument.<br />

Be careful that no damage is caused to personnel<br />

through accidentally dropping it, or by<br />

exerting excessive force on the magnetic flowmeter.<br />

When moving the magnetic flowmeter,<br />

always use a trolley and have at least two<br />

people carry it.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Care should be taken not to drop the flowmeter<br />

or expose it to excessive shock. In particular, be<br />

careful not to subject the flange surface to<br />

shock. This may lead to liner damage which will<br />

result in inaccurate readings.<br />

(3) Flange Protection Covers<br />

NOTE<br />

This chapter describes the remote flowtube as<br />

an example. The same attention must be paid to<br />

the integral flowmeter.<br />

IMPORTANT<br />

Keep the protective covering (i.e. the corrugated<br />

cardboard or other cushioning material) in place<br />

over the flange except when mounting the<br />

flowmeter to the pipe.<br />

3.2.1 General Precautions<br />

(1) Precaution during Transportation<br />

The magnetic flowmeter is packed tightly. When it is<br />

unpacked, pay attention to prevent damaging the<br />

flowmeter. To prevent accidents while it is being<br />

transported to the installing location, transport it to the<br />

site in its original packing.<br />
