2. Installation
When you design the tube, please consider following items:

2.1 Install position

Please avoid the sunlight when you install the flowmeter, the ambient temperature between-25~60 Deg.C will be great.
2.2 Remove the interference of magnetic field
Please DO NOT install flowmeter near motor-driven machine,transformer,frequency transformer.etc.for it will cause interference of
magnetic field..

2.3 Straight tube length

In order to guarantee the EM Flowmeter accuracy, upstream and downstream of the installation should satisfied the following
conditions(Picture).

T - Tube
ELBOW 90

> 5D

> 5D

> /2

Grove Valve

When the upside and downside is shrink tube,

the degree should be smaller then 15

> 10D

Generally tube installation, the flowmeter Upstream could try to stay 5D-10D ,Downstream 2D-5D.

2.4 Install method

a. Flowmeter can be horizontal, vertical or slanting, please make sure the tube is full of fluid no matter if it is
moving or not.
b. When fluid contained solid material, Its suggested to try vertical installation(bottom to top), which can avoid the
solid material sink inside the tube.

c. Pipe design should make sure no air bubble in the flowmeter position.

d. Electrode position should parallel with ground
EM Flowmeter installed by horizontal or slanting the electrode position(A.B) should match the 2 side( right/left)of
tube, converter(wiring box)should be top of the tube.

Exhaust valve

>3m

Horizontal install, the electrode position A.B should on the right and left side.

e. Transportation
When you moving, please remember DO NOT use rope through the flowmeter tube, it may cause Liner inside
broken.
Please DO NOT use your hand or rope to hang on Converter or wiring box, if Flowmeter size is bigger than 80mm,
because the material of converter and wiring box is tender aluminum, it cant stand huge weight.
