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 />
