Commissioning 

 

 

 

 CAUTION 

Risk of burns due to hot measuring media 

The device surface temperature may exceed 70 °C (158 °F), 
depending on the measuring medium temperature! 
•  Before starting work on the device, make sure that it has 

cooled sufficiently. 

 

 

During commissioning of the flowmeter, observe the following 
points: 

•  The ambient and operating conditions (pressure, 

temperature, power supply) must correspond to the 
details on the name plate and the specifications. 

•  Open the shut-off valves slowly to prevent pressure 

surges that can damage the flowmeter. 

•  For liquid measurement media, vent the piping if 

necessary. 

•  For devices with alarm signalling units, set the units to 

the required switching points. 

 

 

Adjusting the alarm signalling unit 

 

The alarm signalling unit is designed as a proximity switch. When 
inserted in the proximity switch, the metal tag initiates the 
switching process. The switching point can be adjusted with a 
screwdriver.

Operating instructions 

 

If there is a chance that safe operation is no longer possible, 
take the device out of operation and secure it against 
unintended startup.
