Flowfit CUA252Basic safety instructions
2 Basic safety instructions
2.1 Requirements for the personnel
• Installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measuring system may
be carried out only by specially trained technical personnel.
• The technical personnel must be authorized by the plant operator to carry out the
specified activities.
• The electrical connection may be performed only by an electrical technician.
• The technical personnel must have read and understood these Operating Instructions
and must follow the instructions contained therein.
• Faults at the measuring point may only be rectified by authorized and specially trained
personnel.
Repairs not described in the Operating Instructions provided must be carried out only
directly at the manufacturer's site or by the service organization.
2.2 Designated use
The CUA252 flow assembly is designed for the installation of the CUS52D turbidity sensor.
Its mechanical construction means that it can be operated in pressurized systems (see
technical data→ 22).
The main areas of application are:
• Final turbidity measurement in outlet of waterworks
• Turbidity measurement in inlet of waterworks
• Turbidity measurement at all process stages
• Turbidity measurement for filter monitoring and filter backwashing
• Turbidity measurement in drinking water networks
The assembly is designed exclusively for use in liquid media.
Use of the device for any purpose other than that described, poses a threat to the safety of
people and of the entire measuring system and is therefore not permitted.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
2.3 Workplace safety
As the user, you are responsible for complying with the following safety conditions:
• Installation guidelines
• Local standards and regulations

3Connection example with bypass and orifice plate in the main pipe (supply from below)
1Orifice plate
No measures to increase pressure are required for branch pipes (pipes that branch off
from the main pipe).
To achieve flow through the assembly with a bypass, pressure p1 must be higher than
pressure p2.
Install the orifice plate in the main pipe → 3, 11.
‣
The inlet and outlet connection of the flow assembly are always identical. The system is
symmetrical.
1.Install the flow assembly vertically.
2.Connect the inflow at the bottom end (upward flow in the pipe).
Avoid buckles and loops in the hose system.
Pay attention to the installation instructions (flow direction) for the sensor.
Many media tend to develop gas bubbles in a depressurized state. The operation of the
flow assembly under pressure (adjustable valve after the flow assembly) prevents this
behavior in many cases.

bypass line.
This makes it possible to perform maintenance tasks,
such as the cleaning of the sensor, without affecting the process.
2.Mount the assembly vertically.
3.Establish the medium connection using commercially available connection fittings.

2.Insert an orifice plate into the upper assembly connection to obtain the desired
volume flow (included in the delivery).
Orifice plates:
• 1 mm (0.04 in) for volume flow < 60 l/h (15.8 gal/h)
• 3 mm (0.12 in) for volume flow 60 to 100 l/h (15.8 to 26.4 gal/h)
• 5 mm (0.2 in) for volume flow > 100 l/h (26.4 gal/h)
Avoid buckles and loops in the hose system.
Pay attention to the installation instructions (flow direction) for the sensor → 10.
Note the maximum pressure and maximum temperature when operating the bubble
trap → 22.
1Optical windows
2Direction of flow
3Installation marking
Only insert turbidity sensors into the assembly with a 2" clamp.
1.Install the sensor in such a way that the optical windows of the sensor are aligned
against the direction of flow (item 2).
2.Use the installation marking (item 3) on the sensor to ensure the correct sensor
orientation.
5.4 Post-installation check
• After mounting, check all the connections to ensure they are secure and leak-tight.
• Make sure that the orientation is correct.
• Ensure that the hoses cannot be removed without force.
• Check all hoses for damage.

7 Maintenance
Perform maintenance tasks at regular intervals.
‣
We recommend setting the maintenance times in advance in an operations journal or
log.
The maintenance cycle primarily depends on the following:
• The system
• The mounting conditions
• The medium in which measurement takes place
CAUTION
